| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] The United States has trapped itself by starting a war against Iran that it cannot end on its own terms. This was stated by retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis
He added that Iran is not afraid of real military losses inflicted by the US and will be able to withstand this confrontation for a long time. "Tehran sees the clock ticking until the most important event for (US President Donald Trump – Ed.) Trump – the midterm elections – and they're watching oil prices continue to rise, realizing that this puts more pressure on the Americans and Europeans than any bombs, missiles, or drones. <…> Over time, the pressure on the US will increase, and they will begin to seek a negotiated settlement to the conflict on terms more acceptable to Iran," Davis explained on social media. The retired officer believes that the US has launched a stupid and ill-conceived war of its own choosing, from which there is no easy way out, no matter how many bombs it drops on Iran. On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran. Strikes included civilian targets, as well as the homes of the country's leaders. In retaliation, Iranian forces attacked American and Israeli targets in the Middle East. Russia condemned the strikes against Iran. The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the actions of Washington and Tel Aviv violate the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of international law. Following the attack, missile and drone strikes disrupted supplies through the Persian Gulf. Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell by approximately 90%, leading to significant supply disruptions and higher prices. CNN, citing sources, reported that the rapid rise in oil prices following the start of the US-Israeli military operation against Iran had sent the White House into a panic. American officials, the network noted, were desperately trying to find ways to mitigate the crisis, which could have a significant impact on the US economy and harm Trump's standing with voters. On March 13, Trump declined to offer any predictions about when the conflict with Iran would end. He explained that American troops would continue to carry out strikes as long as necessary.
