A week into America’s unsanctioned war with Iran, the bombs are still falling, oil has blown past $100 a barrel, and the question every U.S. ally, senator, and gas station owner wants answered is this: Why is Donald Trump doing this?
The conflict began on February 28 when airstrikes launched by the U.S. military and Israel took out Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. More than 1,300 people are dead, American bases across the Middle East are under a constant barrage by the IRGC, and there is no end for the conflict in sight, with many experts and political analyzers wondering if Trump even has an exit strategy at this point, or whether this will turn into yet another “endless war” in the Middle East, paid by the American taxpayer money.
