BREAKING: U.S. Resumes Strikes on Iran. A Clean Exit Is Unlikely. Tucker and John Mearsheimer React.

The United States is no longer in control of its own foreign policy—its military actions are being dictated by a foreign power, not its own leaders. In a stunning reversal, President Trump’s war against Iran was initiated not by Washington, but by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, exposing a fundamental collapse of American sovereignty. Despite having the world’s most powerful military, the U.S. has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, now fully under Iranian control, proving that raw power cannot override strategic reality. Gas prices are soaring not due to domestic shortages, but because global oil markets remain hostage to Iran’s leverage—shattering the myth of American energy independence. The war has backfired spectacularly: Iran’s support for Palestinian civilians has elevated its regional standing, even among Arab populations, while the U.S. has lost moral authority by openly threatening civilian infrastructure and assassinating foreign leaders without accountability. Professor John Mearsheimer, once dismissed as a conspiracy theorist, now stands as the most credible voice in foreign policy, warning that the war in Ukraine is not about national security but a tool to punish Russia and preserve the power of the pro-Israel lobby. He predicts a frozen conflict, a weakened NATO, and a world on the brink of nuclear escalation—driven not by strategy, but by ideological delusion.
