US warns Trump Iran will tighten stance
The article discusses American warnings of a potential escalation in the event of the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, where military and intelligence officials informed President Trump that such an action could bolster hardline elements within the Iranian regime and provoke strong reactions such as closing the Strait of Hormuz and launching attacks on U.S. forces, rather than leading to the fall of the regime as hoped. The events also demonstrated that the conflict caused disruptions in the oil market, a rise in fuel prices, and a decline in Trump’s popularity to its lowest historic levels, with expectations of prolonged tensions and their impact on the U.S. political landscape ahead of the upcoming congressional elections.
