Trump explicitly stated he doesn't consider American financial hardship when deciding Iran policy, yet inflation hit 3-year highs at 3.8% and his approval dropped to 38%. Despite military operations, Iran retained 400kg enriched uranium and radicalized further; European allies distanced themselves and the Strait of Hormuz closure triggered new crisis.

US unilateral military approach has backfired, strengthening Iran's regional position and radicalization while alienating European allies. Power vacuum emerging as US credibility declines domestically and internationally. Iran regime consolidates despite leadership decapitation attempts.
Similar to Vietnam War escalation under Johnson—military intervention pursued despite economic costs, eroding domestic support and international alliances while failing to achieve stated objectives.

Consumer goods (inflation-driven)
American households face elevated inflation (3.8%), eroding purchasing power and real wages. Energy costs likely elevated due to Strait of Hormuz closure. Consumer confidence weakened by geopolitical instability and presidential approval decline to 38%.
Potential shift in Iran policy toward diplomacy if GOP loses House majority in midterms. Possible Congressional pressure to prioritize domestic inflation control over military interventions. Risk of policy reversals affecting defense spending and international relations.
