The article discusses the ongoing debate over whether the Iran war will become a quagmire, with President Donald Trump and Iran already in one. Iran may continue to block oil from passing through the Strait of Hormuz, raising oil prices and other products dependent on the strait, squeezing the American economy and world economy alike. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian argues that America must make concessions to Iran's legitimate rights to enrich uranium, pay war reparations to Iran, and provide international guarantees against future aggression. However, Iranian officials insist that the war will continue until they are confident they will not face attacks in the future. The article suggests that the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit may be used to seize Kharg Island, the base of Iran's oil industry, but risks include a potential invasion of ground troops at Isfahan to recover highly enriched uranium stored there.
