The Iran conflict, in its low-grade double blockade form, feels like an endless cycle.
Iran has been attacked by a superpower and is technically more able to develop nuclear material than they were a decade ago…they likely want a nuke for defensive purposes more than ever.

The USA is losing its military dominance. It is not adapting fast enough to changing technologies that make killing Americans in war easier. Still, there are many military objectives it could achieve over potential enemies, but the US is not willing to take the casualties necessary to achieve those objectives, and America’s potential enemies know it.

“Prices rose 3.8% in April compared to a year earlier, marking an increase from a year-over-year inflation rate of 3.3% in the prior month. Annual inflation jumped to its highest level in three years, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data showed.
As recently as February, inflation stood at 2.4%, clocking in just a tick above the Federal Reserve’s target level of 2%.
The jump in prices last month owed in large part to a sharp rise in costs for products impacted by a global oil shock. Gasoline prices were 5% higher in April than March, the BLS report said. Airline fares climbed 2.8% from the previous month.”

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been a brutal dictatorship from its beginning, and the recent massacres were a crazy and organized bloodbath involving the government slaughtering its own people.
This is not the first time the Islamist theocracy has slaughtered its own people.
