Has Donald Trump made a decision that this is it? For weeks, he has been strongly encouraging Iran to make a deal to end the war. And to be honest, he has been willing to make compromises with Iran that others may not have been willing to make. But there were certain red lines that Trump was never going to cross. Unfortunately, the Iranians have gotten really greedy. They know that Trump really wants to end the war, and so they are playing hardball. The Iranians are telling us that they will never hand over their enriched uranium, they will never dismantle their nuclear facilities, and they will never give up control of the Strait of Hormuz. In fact, they actually intend to take things even further by imposing tolls on the very important undersea Internet cables that run underneath the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranians truly believe that they have won this war by taking the global economy hostage, and so they have no intention of giving Trump what he wants.
I think that Trump has finally realized this.
On Sunday, he posted an ominous statement about Iran on his Truth Social account that ended with “they will be laughing no longer”…
The Iranians really did slaughter tens of thousands of their own people earlier this year.

President Trump’s visit to Beijing this week comes at a moment of unusual pressure for Washington. The Iran war has not delivered the quick political result the White House expected. Tehran has not collapsed, and the Strait of Hormuz has become leverage. Gulf states are reassessing the limits of American protection, while oil, fertilizer, food prices, shipping insurance, Taiwan, rare earths and China’s bargaining power are now part of the same crisis.
The war was misunderstood from the beginning. President Trump appears to have believed Iran could be forced into submission through pressure, air power, sanctions and political shock. The assumption was that American force could still impose a political outcome. Iran answered by absorbing the strike, extending the conflict and pushing the cost into the global system.
That was the central miscalculation.
