The Middle East on the brink of chaos

He has said it, and reiterated it many times: under his presidency, the United States will not send American soldiers to fight in foreign wars. He made this principle of governance a cornerstone of his policy.

Regarding Iran, he declared loudly and clearly: “I will never send soldiers to Iran.” He repeated that he does not want an open war or an invasion of Iran, preferring sanctions and targeted military deterrence.

But, as we all know, promises only bind those who make them. Since Saturday, 28 February, the self‑proclaimed “peace‑maker” president has turned into a warmonger; the “new Trump” has donned the conqueror’s garb, even though during his 2024 campaign he said, “I don’t want to see any more wars.”

Now he is betraying himself by sinking into a conflict he helped spark hand‑in‑hand with his vassal, Netanyahu, the diabolical agent of chaos—believing he could wrap up the affair in less than two weeks.

From this moment on, he can say goodbye to the Nobel Peace Prize he coveted so much.

In light of these developments, the conflict will not be endless, but it will last and bring disastrous consequences for the region and the global economy.

By decapitating the state and its icons, by assassinating Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other government members, Trump and his ally are gravely mistaken in thinking they can swiftly and smoothly change the existing regime.

In an interview on 2 March, the U.S. president stated that the United States has the “capabilities” for a conflict lasting “much longer” than four or five weeks; he also refused to rule out sending ground troops.

Claiming to invade a territory of 1 648 195 km² (three times the size of France), populated by 90 million people, is political blindness. It is a perilous and risky adventure; if he crosses the Rubicon, it is evident that Trump will sign his own political death warrant.

On the fourth day of the conflict, the region shows serious signs of alarming chaos. The geopolitical context is worrisome: the United States and the rogue state have struck more than 2 000 targets in Iran, which in turn has responded on all fronts, bombarding Gulf countries.

Explosions, rocket fire, and air strikes are multiplying; oil tankers are being sunk, thousands of flights canceled, airports closed, and costly damage is spreading across Gulf nations. Total confusion reigns in the area.

All states now have their eyes fixed on the Strait of Hormuz, through which more than one‑fifth of the world’s oil passes. Gas prices have risen by over 12 % (due to blocked LNG carriers).

If Trump and his accomplice continue their crusade in Iran, the global economy will be heavily impacted. In the rear‑view mirror, the world can already see—unfortunately—the ghosts of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, launched for a highly dubious pretext.
