Few appear to fully grasp the consequences of the actions taken by the U.S. President.
For some time, it appeared that the conventional wisdom regarding hubris and downfall did not apply to Donald Trump, a bombastic, self-absorbed, and demonstrably ill-informed individual.
That changed with the outbreak of war in Iran.
In January 2026, Trump openly declared his intention to disregard international law and operate solely on his own “morality,” a statement that, in retrospect, foreshadowed the crisis that unfolded in March.
On Saturday, March 7, reports surfaced revealing that an analysis conducted a week prior to the strike on Iran concluded that eliminating Iranian leadership would not necessarily lead to the collapse of the regime.
Early indications suggest the analysis was accurate, as Iran continues to resist, contributing to a surge in oil prices.
The price of crude oil has now exceeded $105 per barrel.
If this trend continues, the world may face a severe economic crisis. The escalation marks a significant turning point in U.S.-Iran relations and raises concerns about broader regional stability. Those who initiated the conflict – particularly Trump – risk being overwhelmed by its repercussions.
