Donald Trump is under fire after critics accused him of stumbling into conflict with Iran, creating chaos both politically and economically. Gas prices in the United States have surged sharply, leaving consumers reeling and global oil markets jittery. Analysts argue the president's handling of the situation has undermined key campaign promises, including keeping energy costs low and avoiding forever wars.
A high-profile resignation from the Trump administration highlighted growing concern among officials over his engagement in Iran. Observers say that even if the conflict were to de-escalate quickly, the damage is already done. Trump's critics describe his approach as impulsive, lacking the strategic planning necessary for handling a nation with Iran's military and geopolitical leverage, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transport.
