Spirit Airlines, once a symbol of accessible air travel for millions of Americans, has reached the end of its journey — unable to secure a government rescue or find a private buyer willing to carry its weight forward. Its closure reminds us that markets, like tides, can recede from those who built their lives along the shore. Simultaneously, the Trump administration has formally declared an end to hostilities with Iran, a statement that carries the weight of political intention even as the deeper currents of that relationship remain unresolved.
