- •Former adviser Doug Sosnik states President Trump's Iran strategy is "transactional" and lacks a clear doctrine, amid escalating tensions.
- •Sosnik predicts Trump will escalate pressure in the short term but then "take an off-ramp within a few weeks and declare victory," avoiding a full-scale ground invasion.
- •Iran's intensified strikes in the Gulf raise concerns about oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and global energy markets.
- •Einar Tangen warns that disruption to global oil supply could trigger a recession, or even a depression if prolonged.
- •Sosnik highlights Washington's policy inconsistency, noting that US decision-making remains fluid due to geopolitical and economic pressures.
