"As long as Trump believes he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants, however, the Iranians have him over a barrel. And with oil prices currently at their highest since 2023, the American middle class is going to burn up as long as he’s over it."

"While Trump’s goal at the beginning of the war was unclear and ever-changing, it is no such thing now, as the Iranians have now determined what Trump’s goal must be: sending America’s sons and daughters to sacrifice their lives in the name of cheap gas."

Will Trump sacrifice US troops in the name of cheap gas?

He can’t win. Iran is dictating his goals.

"I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

"More than two weeks after the war started, its goals remain unclear. Is it to degrade Iran’s conventional missile capabilities? Is it to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program? Is it regime change?

Ultimately, the administration’s failure to plan for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is part of a broader failure to plan for anything beyond 'shock and awe.'”

Planning to fail

Shortly after the start of the war in Iran on February 28, Iran declared that the Strait of Hormuz — which is used to transport about 20% of the world’s oil — was closed.

"Source close to the admin: 'He ended up saying, "I just want to do it. He grossly overestimated his ability to topple the regime short of sending in ground troops.”' The source said Trump was 'high on his own supply' after last summer’s quick strikes in Iran and January’s abduction of Nicolás Maduro."

"This is a very stupid man who imagines he can—not just bully enemies as military strategy—but abuse allies and they’ll keep coming back for more.

Consider: Poor Donald Trump got a no from the UK’s Kier Starmer about joining the initial strikes on Iran and hesitated sending aircraft carriers to the region."

"There are many ways a country can decline. It can become poorer and weaker or lose its alliances or its technological edge.

But there is another, more insidious form of decline: a country can become stupider.

That is what has happened to American policymaking under Donald Trump."
