Event Summary

Donald Trump has initiated a significant military conflict with Iran, reportedly based on a 'feeling' that the Iranian regime would strike US assets. This approach has been criticized for prioritizing impulse over reasoning and for poor communication from the United States===White House. The United States===National security council has been downsized, and Marco Rubio now holds combined key roles. The conflict has led to rising gasoline prices and a 52% public opposition in the United States, contrasting with initial public support for past wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Donald Trump has also expressed a desire to be involved in choosing Iran's next supreme leader after the killing of Ali Khamenei.
