Iran War and Trump's Mysterious Position: Questions That Have Not Been Answered

​The skies over the Middle East are awash with war. This conflict between Iran and America is not limited to just the two countries, but has threatened the economy and security of the entire world. Although Donald Trump recently spoke about the current situation of the war in a speech, instead of easing tensions, he has increased the smoke.


​1. Where is the end of the war? (The End Goal)
​Trump has claimed that America's military goals have almost been achieved. He said that Iran will be sent to the "Stone Age" in the next 2-3 weeks. But the real question is - where is the end of this devastation? Will Iran really surrender unconditionally, or will this war turn into a protracted proxy war? Trump has not given any clear outline on this issue.


​2. Negotiation offer vs. military threat
​On the one hand, Trump says he is ready for negotiations, while on the other hand, he is threatening to attack Iran's energy and oil infrastructure. This contradictory position is confusing world leaders.  Trump has skillfully avoided answering the question of whether a diplomatic table will be set up to reduce the tension of the war.


​3. Oil Market and Global Economy
​As a result of the Iran war, oil prices are rising sharply in the global market. The price of Brent crude oil has already exceeded $100. The general public wants to know what Trump's plan is to reduce this economic instability? But in his speech, he instead blamed the allies and asked them to take more responsibility.


​4. Distance from allies
​Trump's tough tone towards European allies is raising questions about NATO's unity. He has expressed anger at the allies' lack of cooperation in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. But there is no good answer to how long America can drag out this war alone.


​5. Civilian damage and liability
​The Trump administration is reluctant to take responsibility for the civilian casualties reported as a result of attacks on schools or settlements in Iran.  He simply dismissed the questions raised about the principles of war or the 'Rules of Engagement'
