Iran standoff leaves Trump worse off than before he went to war

More than two months into a conflict that has failed to deliver a decisive military or diplomatic win, his standoff with Iran will drag on indefinitely and leave an even bigger problem for the U.S. and the world than before he launched the war.


  • Trump faces political fallout as war goals remain unmet and economic pressures mount
  • Iran leverages Strait of Hormuz control, emboldened despite military setbacks
  • Analysts warn of prolonged deadlock, risking a 'frozen conflict' and strained US alliances
 
For the U.S. president and his Republican Party, the implications of the continued impasse are grim.

Global economic fallout, including high U.S. gasoline prices, will persist, putting further pressure on Trump, whose poll numbers are falling, and darkening Republican candidates' prospects ahead of November’s midterm congressional elections.

Those costs highlight a deeper problem: the war has failed to achieve any of Trump's stated goals.

While there is little doubt that waves of U.S. and Israeli strikes heavily degraded Iran’s military capabilities, Trump’s often-shifting war objectives - from regime change to shutting Iran's path to a nuclear weapon - remain unfulfilled.
 
The U.S. is already paying new strategic costs.

Those include fractures with traditional European allies, who were not consulted before Trump went to war.

He has harshly criticized NATO partners for not sending their navies to help open the strait, and in the past week spoke about drawing down troops in Germany, Spain and Italy.

You know, the Mullahs and terrorist IRGC really fucked up when they attacked Indian ships. Now every nation on earth is condemning the pirates known as Iran.

Iran is more isolated than Nazi Germany was in 1945. Of course, we already took care of Iran's Hitler - who has joined the child molesting god of Iran as maggot food.
 
The president's call at the start of the conflict for the Iranian people to overthrow their rulers has gone unheeded.

At home, Trump is under pressure ⁠to end a war that has dragged his approval rating to the lowest level of his term – 34%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll – and spiked gasoline prices above $4 a gallon ahead of the midterms, in which Republicans are at risk of losing control of Congress.
