The ongoing conflict in West Asia remains unresolved, with the United States yet to firmly commit to an end. Recent reports indicate that US inflation surged to 3.8% in April, the fastest increase in three years, primarily due to rising energy costs. This inflationary pressure is eroding household income and threatening consumer spending. Geopolitical Risk Advisor Col. Douglas Macgregor (Retd.) cautions that raising interest rates to combat inflation could lead to a collapse of the American economy. He draws parallels between the current situation and historical military miscalculations, suggesting that President Trump may feel trapped by the conflict. Furthermore, Macgregor argues that the US is essentially fighting a war for Israel, and stopping military operations would contradict Israel's strategic interests. He emphasizes the influence of Israel's lobby on US policy, indicating that any move to suspend operations could result in significant political repercussions for Trump. As the US and Iran continue negotiations, a final deal to resolve the conflict remains elusive.
