Trump's Six-Month War Against Iran Ends in Global Stalemate

Six months of military and diplomatic actions initiated by Trump against Iran have culminated in a costly stalemate. The conflict has disrupted global energy and financial markets, with energy prices surging sharply. The war, marked by attacks and negotiations, has left lasting geopolitical consequences.

The war began on February 28, 2026, with coordinated attacks by the United States and Israel on Iranian targets. These actions were announced and escalated through Trump's social media posts, which detailed the war's progression from declaration to negotiation. The conflict has led to significant economic repercussions, with energy prices rising due to reduced production in Gulf countries and limited supply.
