Diplomacy fails miserably when autocratic ideology resurfaces.
Sooner or later the conflict situation in the Middle East had to be addressed because the people in the region deserve peace. However, president Trump was hasty in attacking Iran, based on an authoritarian approach, without the approval of the U.S. Congress and strategies. If Iran still retained some nuclear ability and decide to respond, we would face a war that could have dire consequences, not only for the United States, but for the entire world.
It should be noted that during World War II, the world was not as connected as it is today, meaning that the impact of a third world war would be much more imminent.
Perhaps the consequences are not merely nuclear, since the Persian country’s first move is based on trade revenge, with the Parliament voting on Sunday, June 22, 2025, to close the Strait of Hormuz – the world’s most important maritime corridor for the transport of oil – a route through which 20% of all the world’s oil passes.
