The White House's timeline for victory against Iran, which was initially predicted would take four to six weeks, is now a case study in the delusional thinking of a man that is losing his grasp on reality. The administration's handling of the Strait of Hormuz, which provides crucial oil supply for Iran, has been a failure. This has led to a global economic recession and possibly a third world war, while the administration has failed to provide a clear strategy for exiting the conflict. The cost of conflict has been exacerbated by threats from Iran to make it unbearable, leading to increased gas prices and increased food costs. The conflict has also resulted in a significant increase in military casualties. Despite promises of ending wars and removing the U.S. from conflict, these promises have not been met with met with skepticism. The Iranian government is eager to turn its own people into targets for its own enemies.
