Hawk takes a hard look at the unraveling situation between the United States, Iran, and Israel six weeks after Trump approved Operation Epic Fury. The so-called ceasefire Trump announced lasted only a matter of hours before Israel and Iran resumed attacks on each other, with Israel launching over a hundred air strikes in southern Lebanon in under ten minutes.
Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint responsible for 20% of the world's fossil fuel supply. J.D. Vance was sent to negotiate and walked away empty-handed after 15 hours of failed talks. The consequences are already cascading globally — South Korea, Japan, and Australia face severe fuel shortages, Europe is feeling the squeeze, and gas stations across Ireland have run dry with no timeline for resupply.
Back in the United States, gasoline and diesel prices have surged 40% in a single month, the largest one-month fuel cost increase in recorded history. Hawk points out the bitter irony: Trump ran his campaign on lowering prices, including at the pump.
The deeper question Hawk raises is how the United States got here in the first place. Netanyahu understood how to appeal to Trump's ego, packaging the pitch for war like a Hollywood production. The result is a geopolitical crisis with real consequences for everyday Americans and allies around the world.
