Washington gives Israel one-week deadline to end Iran war: Report US Media

The United States has set a one-week timeframe for Israel to end the war with Iran. According to a report by the US-based news outlet Politico, citing a source, Washington believes that the fall of the current government in Tehran is unlikely in the near future. This is because overthrowing the Iranian government would require either a large-scale direct ground invasion or widespread nationwide protests, neither of which currently appears likely.

The source also stated that there is a significant difference in calculations between Washington and Tel Aviv regarding this war. The U.S. administration is mainly concerned about the negative impact of the conflict on the global market and oil prices. On the other hand, Israel claims that it has achieved major success through its military operations.

A report by the US-based media outlet Politico also said that the administration of Donald Trump did not conduct any deep review of the long-term consequences before the conflict against Iran began. Shortly after the conflict started, its direct effects were already visible in the oil market.

Citing economic analysts, the report said that the Trump administration had underestimated the impact of the conflict. As a result, despite record levels of oil production in the United States, the price of gasoline has increased by at least 60 cents per gallon within just two weeks. This rise threatens Trump’s promise of creating a “golden age of prosperity” due to growing inflationary pressure.

Politico further reported that investors were not reassured even after assurances from U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright. To stabilize the situation, Trump ordered the release of 172 million barrels of oil from the United States’ strategic reserves.

This situation highlights how geopolitical conflicts can quickly affect the global economy, especially the energy market. Even powerful countries often underestimate the economic consequences of military conflicts. Rising oil prices and inflation show that wars rarely remain limited to the battlefield, they also impact ordinary people around the world through higher costs of fuel and goods. Therefore, diplomatic solutions and careful strategic planning are essential before escalating such conflicts.
