The ongoing war in the Middle East and the situation at the Strait of Hormuz have created a situation of energy crisis in the entire world. At the same time, Trump’s attitude of threatening Iran has also weakened. The International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday (April 1, 2026) that the impact on global oil supply is expected to be twice as large this month as in March. However, Trump indicated that he could end the war within a few weeks even without any agreement.

Trump hints at withdrawal from NATO

Trump has also threatened that if European countries do not help the US in stopping Iran from doing arbitrariness on the Strait of Hormuz, then America will consider leaving NATO. Trump also said that he will continue attacking Iran. Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian said that his country is ready to end the war if a guarantee is given that war will not happen again in the future. Iran has now declared itself the gatekeeper of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran becomes the gatekeeper of Hormuz Strait

Iranian MP Ibrahim Azizi said that the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be the same. According to him, now this path will be open only for those countries which will follow the rules of Iran. He bluntly said that Iran’s era of hospitality is over. This means that Iran will charge a huge amount from any ship passing through this route. Iran had never used this route to earn money before.

Trump confused about Iran war

Now US President Donald Trump seems completely confused about the war with Iran. First he asked for help from NATO allies and then announced that America does not need NATO in this war. He then threatened to destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure and then suspended such attacks almost overnight. Social media users made fun of Trump’s decision.

Josh Marshall, founder of Talking Points Memo, posted on the social media platform ‘BlueSky’, saying, ‘There are so many tacos here that a New Mexican restaurant chain could be started.’ The Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO) hashtag was coined last year after the US President threatened to impose heavy tariffs and then backed down.

Trump wants to end the war by doing anything

The press office of California Governor Gavin Newsom posted on Twitter, saying, ‘Taco Tuesday is coming a day early.’ This post cites media reports which claim that Trump has told his aides that he is ready to end the war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz. A survey conducted by ‘Pew Research’ found that almost six out of ten, or 61 percent, Americans disagree with Trump’s attitude regarding the war with Iran. The survey also revealed that 37 percent people are in favor of war.

The ongoing war between America and Iran is causing huge losses to both the countries. Even after a month has passed, the war does not seem to be stopping. This war has troubled the US-Iran as well as other Gulf countries a lot. It is being claimed that millions of people may lose their jobs due to the war. The important thing is that the war has caused the most damage to Iran. On the other hand, America is not fighting the war on its own soil, hence it is in less loss.

The people of Iran have suffered a lot due to the war with America. According to Press TV report, 90,063 houses have been damaged across the country including Tehran. At the same time, 307 hospitals and other medical facilities have been damaged. Along with this, 760 schools have been destroyed. America attacked many places in Tehran in the first week of the war. Thousands of people have died so far due to missile attacks. According to the report, 20,880 people have been seriously injured due to the war.

From nuclear center to weapons, where did Iran face shocks?

It was claimed that America had also damaged Iran’s nuclear bases during the war. Along with this, the number of weapons has also decreased. However, official figures regarding this have not been revealed yet. Iran has used many cluster bombs against America and Israel so far, their number has also reduced.

America made a big claim regarding Iran

Amidst the war, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has made a big statement regarding Iran. He has said that the coming days will be decisive. “Militarily, Iran is destroyed, there’s nothing they can do about it,” Hegseth said. The American strike is breaking the morale of Iranian commanders, if Iran is wise then it will make a deal, if there is no deal then America will launch an even more deadly attack.

He said, ‘If Iran is wise then it will compromise. If Iran does not make a deal, the US military will continue its action with even more vigor. Trump does not just show off, nor does he back down from his words. The new regime of Iran should understand this by now.
