How Trump bombed the US into a worse position with Iran​

Four weeks into a war that was going to take four days, and that has so far cost the US about $30-40bn and Israel $300m a day, Washington is further away from a diplomatic agreement with Iran than it was in May 2025.

Not only has the war failed to persuade Iran to agree to dismantle its nuclear programme in the comprehensive and irreversible way the US demanded in a 15-point paper that it tabled on 23 May last year, Washington is now having to negotiate to reopen the strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway that has been open ever since the invention of the dhow, with a short exception of a tanker war in the 1980s between Iran and Iraq.

This regression is proving to be perplexing for the American high command. Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defence, recently said that “the only thing prohibiting transit in the strait right now is Iran shooting at shipping”, but this was not quite right. Iran has not been shooting at shipping that much in recent weeks. Instead, it is the fear of Iran shooting at shipping that is scaring off insurers and tanker owners.

Quite the predicament that Crazy Trump got us into.
 
Trump is talking about a couple of thousand boots on the ground. Send them into Iran with about a million-man army and lots of drones. It seems daffy Donald will sacrifice soldiers to get the war he wants. Trump cares about himself, just himself.
 
Donald Dumb as fuck is determined to spin this war into his own false sense of victory by any means necessary. Completely oblivious to the decades of damage he's currently creating for both the oil and economic stages of the future. He keeps bolstering our presence, does nothing but tell lies and has no end game what so ever on how to conduct a war. He's like a child playing soldier with plastic pieces with no clue of what he's doing, only those plastic pieces are our son's and daughters, not his. He can not retreat, can not negotiate and must til the end, either wipe Iran off the map, or lose the battle, there is no 3rd option with this monstruous fool.
