when is it really ending?

[icebar]

America will not remove instability from the Middle East until completed their goal. Now they have suffered a lot of economic losses, and the economic situation of the whole world is not good. Iran is conducting war activities to the maximum of its capabilities. But now I think the main problem is Israel. America has given Israel all kinds of opportunities to create its dominance in the Middle East. And in order to sustain and strengthen Israel, America has attacked all the countries that have become strong there without any reason in the past. So I do not think this instability will stop soon. It is certain that the Trump administration is under great pressure and it will certainly do its utmost to protect itself from that pressure.

I remember this was commonly quoted during the Iraq war and a great many thought that was a totally essential war that could only bring good things, yet reality was nothing close to those hopes by some.

The quote often mentioned was:

 'Only the dead have seen the end of war'

 Plato~George Santayana




The troubles in this area and even Iran extend almost across the entire duration of any memory I have, certainly I remember Reagan being occupied by this problem perhaps for most of his two terms.
  That wasn't even a war exactly it was troubles in the area, with 241 marines dead a news story I wont forget and many other sad failures in human conflict.

The future is much like the past, we cannot expect any different as it has been the same for at least thousands of years.
  Even in this industrial age it still resembles the senseless violence and mess you'd hope no longer exists, if anything it could be argued to be worse then ever.   I hope everyone involved is tired of death and loss, the war rarely brings any peace that's all the certainty you can be sure of.

I expect ongoing trouble, volatile uncertainty to carry on for years at least, half a decade seems optimistic as any resolution.
  I hope this wont be in exactly a war condition but peace is not likely.  It'll take years to repair the damage and many cannot forgive what cannot be repaired and is lost.

I am 40% sure they will make a deal, but they will want Iran to give up on a lot of things and Iran shifting from Yuan to BTC alone tells me something haha.

Iran's use of Bitcoin instead of the yuan would not benefit the US. This could even threaten the petrodollar empire if other countries use bitcoin and crypto to replace the USD.

The use of Bitcoin was Iran's idea to avoid asset freezes, not a requirement from the US.

Furthermore, bitcoin is not the only method of payment. Iran continues to accept the yuan in its trade transaction. With over 80% of their oil exports going to China, do you think they would easily give up the yuan?

A peace agreement requires both side to meet each other's demand, not simply Iran complying with the unreasonable demand of the US.

There is news that the negotiations have been terminated. The parties could not reach an agreement. So the situation with the strait remains unresolved. Well, then, apparently, we should expect further price increases, not only for oil, but for everything in general, since all prices are obtained along the production chain, at the beginning of which is energy and logistics...

Nobody actually say when this war is going to end, the trump administration once predicted it but unfortunately it doesn't went as he planned and for him to stop everything it means maybe he will be called a coward because he did not finish what is started and at the end they lost. I actually agree with you that Israel is the problem of this world but Americans also have intention because how can someone convince you that there is so so and so without any investigation, they just want ahead to start blowing things.

At least they should do something to stop this war because they are not the only one affected, the entire world is affected and honestly the inflection is getting high and things in life has become difficult for a normal person to survive.

[Razmirraz]

Trump had stated that the war could end in a matter of 2-3 weeks since the beginning of April 2026, despite the US claim of victory as conveyed by Trump, the current situation remains tense with ongoing attacks and ongoing negotiations. The United States also plans to impose a naval blockade on Iran after negotiations failed. Trump also said that the US had achieved its strategic goals, regardless of whether a formal agreement was reached or not, but the failure of the agreement could potentially prolong instability in the region.

Although Trump is optimistic that the war will end soon and claims complete dominance, Iran is not easily defeated and will not remain silent as the US destroys their territory. Iran stance indicates a threat to US personnel and this conflict has triggered significant energy shocks. The conflict has caused Brent crude oil prices to spike and logistics costs to rise, with estimates suggesting the energy crisis could increase global inflation. Hopefully this war will end soon so that there will be no further crisis.

[Rockstarguy]

when is the crisis in the middle east end? trump said the following words:

“Over these four weeks, our armed forces have achieved swift, decisive, and crushing victories on the battlefield — the likes of which almost no one has ever seen. Today, Iran’s navy has been destroyed, its air force is in ruins, and its leaders, most of them, are dead.”

us has achieved what it has intended to do and in a very efficient fashion as he said but when will the crisis end? he keeps talking about coming to a deal but if a deal is not met, what does it mean for the rest of us? oil will keep rising? expenses will be more expensive?

Wars are always unpredictable because you can't really tell when they will end, but looking at it, it always seems like something that will be ending anytime soon.

This war is really affecting everyone, and it is important for people to move on and go ahead with what they intend to do because if you wait until the war stops, you may not be doing yourself any good. Make plans, set goals, push for them, and make sure the outcome becomes a success. One needs to plan and not just wait for the end of the war.

Everyone knows the attack is mainly on the petrodollar.

Having learnt their lessons over freezed funds, using Bitcoin would be the best way to evade being seized again as done previously. Giving that up will not happen, they're doing everything against the petrodollar.

What they couldn't achieve through the war was presented and the Iranian negotiators declined. Thanks to the Pakistan leaders who made it happen. It will be written in history how they devised means to negotiate for peace between them. A deal could still happen but I don't know what Benjamin Netanyahu has on Donald Trump. He is the sole reason why an agreement couldn't be achieved.

That's true, it is not looking like it is ending right now, and we have no idea when it will end neither. The weird thing is, we can assume that Palestine vs Israel will continue forever, or Ukraine vs Russia will not end anytime soon.

But when it comes to this war, because if tomorrow we end up seeing it over, and USA leaving saying that they have done what they were after, then I would not be shocked, or if Iran gives up somehow, then I would not be shocked neither. Anything could happen with this war, it could go on for years, it could be over tomorrow and either would be very possible in my mind. Which is why I am not really considering this as something that would not be calculated, I am just hoping it ends very soon.

Thankfully, somehow, the world is managing the oil prices very well, because if we were to judge by the immediate war price, it should have doubled by now, but somehow, the world is able to curtail it. Going forward, like I'd said many times, we've seen the worst effect of this war, and if they continue, the market would just react a little to it before finding its path a bit lower, just as it has always been doing since the war started.

Trump has ordered the Navy to block Iran's port to mount more pressure, and I hope that could yield positive results. Iran should just avoid further destruction to its country, being stronghead with the country that can beat you many times over whilst you don't have much friends is stupidity. It shows you don't have the love of your country and citizens at heart.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I think you shouldn't mind those statements because they are all political statements coming from someone who knows how to play his cards very well, he's a social media person so he knows what to say that can't soak inside the mind of the citizens and those listening. oP you asked a good question, if the peace talk went south what are the masses going to do or how are we all going to survive?
One thing I have come to understand is, these guys don't really care much about what went wrong with we the citizens because is like if they care about us it will not allow them do what they feel is right that is why they kill their conscience completely. I would want them to open the Strait of Hormuz to make the prices of things go back to normal or even lesser than it were.

[AgriTrack]

I would not say that it is "completely destroy" it, but more like make it a puppet state. Just like how Saudis and Qatar and UAE type of Arabic nations have decided that being a puppet to USA is a good way to survive, and sell all their oil to USA, and even use it back on USA, literally giving their oil for free basically, they are also asking Iran to be like that as well. Iran won't, they have spent five decades being their enemy, so this regime would never consider USA as allies that won't happen.

While there are many Iranians who hate  the regime, and there are good reasons to hate a regime that killed so many people, reality and what is "right" is not the same. Sure Iran should get rid of this regime, but they should also not get to a democracy that is puppet of USA neither, they should be independent from both sides.

This phrase is used when there is doubt about the end of something, when a person is tired of something, that now it has really come to an end, just like when it rains repeatedly we say When will it end, This phrase sometimes also shows fatigue and boredom because sometimes we want a task to end because we want the real purpose of it to be known and we want to know the truth about it because if a thing lasts long, we think that its dignity will end or why are we not being told about it or will it ever end, This is not true.

From my observation every country fight for their strategic interest, there are no modern fight because morality or because oil. I think US's country not US puppet, even we know that they aligned with US for security  but they also sell oil to many country such as China, they use OPEC as leverage to play oil price and many times they against US. For decade especially after Iran revolution, Iran cut diplotic connection with US and declare as US's permanent enemy, they refused to be controlled by US, especially when US decide to support Israel as Iran main ideological enemy, and refused to help Palestine when US can do it. Beside that historical trauma 1953 coup when CIA help overthrow Mossadegh which make Iran show US as an imperialist. US also support autoritarian  and pro western rezim which make Iranian think US supporter of domestic oppression. Conflict become never ending because US support Israel and gulf country (mostly different secterian with Iran) and on the other hand Iran support militant group Hezbollah, Hamas, Houti.

But Iran independence comes with expensive cost such as economic sanction, financial isolation and continuously military pressure, matter of fact it is not idealism but they actually trade off their economic prosperity for their absolute sovereignity.

A deal could still happen but I don't know what Benjamin Netanyahu has on Donald Trump. He is the sole reason why an agreement couldn't be achieved.

I think you are right about this, although I’m not completely sure either.

On April 14, Netanyahu stated that the Trump administration had provided him with daily update on the war situation and negotiation with Iran. At the same time, a Democratic congressman named Mark Pocan stated that Trump only reported the situation to Bibi, not to Congress or the American people.
If all of this is true, then it seems that Trump is being manipulated and is serving the interests of Israel rather than the US.

War is very bad. When you look at the countries involved in this war, all have incured great losses. We have had wars and I don't think this is the highest war that US is fighting or the highest war that has ever taken place, still they all ended. I may not be able to say precisely when the war is going to end, but I understand it will definitely come to an end. US is among the world powers, they are very powerful in times of war, and I equally believe they are stronger than Iran. This war is really causing economic relapse, not only to the countries directly involved but to the countries within the middle east, and even beyond. If this war persist, is obvious that it will attract the world's attention and peace will eventually come.

War will eventually end, that is no secret and everyone know it.
What everyone is concerned about is when it will end, because the longer it lasts, the greater the consequences and damage it will cause to the world. That's why everyone wants it to end soon.

Another thing that everyone know is that the US is a superpower and possesses the strongest military in the world. However, that doesnt mean they have the right to attack any country they want, and they wont easily defeat Iran in this war.
Given the current state of the war, the US has yet to achieve its objectives and is suffering unintended losses.

[Moreno233]

When a conflict degenerates into a war, then you can never predict how it is end if you are an active participant in it. This why President Trump and any other participant cannot predict exactly what will happen and when it will end. They can defeat Iran but that will not come without serious resistance at a huge cost to them. Iran may decide to change it into gorilla warfare since they have the terrain that can support that, this will drag the war longer and possibly frustrate the US.

why do you want it to end, because traders, retail investors, and institutional investors are making a lot of profit on whatever Trump is saying, a lot of funds have moved, they are probably doing insider trading but the indicators are all so obvious too so maybe they are not.

I dont totally agree with this, yes there are people making profits from what ever trump is saying, but its not that retail investors, or traders in a general aspect are making profits, some are some arent,

whatever he says makes the market volatile which can be a good thing for institutional and experienced traders, but its not the same for beginners, as a matter of fact institutions use the volatility as an opportunity they still loose as well.

[bhadz]

We've received a huge roll back in the price of diesel this Tuesday and estimates show again that we'll have another huge roll back by the next week. And that's because the crude oil has decreased its price in the world market. I think it's an impact of what's happening in the Middle East conflict and whatever Trump is doing. I'm not praising him for these roll backs but I am hoping that peace and stability is going to happen again in the region and as well as to the countries that imports their oil products in the area that needs to pass through the Hormuz.

This war is so unnecessary and can be easily avoided.  The American/Israeli government wanted to weaken Iran military capabilities and their governments. That's why they have been pushing for regime change and weapon of mass destruction. I don't think Iran were close to building a nuclear warhead. China could easily build it and sell it to them. Israel and the US  goal is mark their dominance in that area. I remembered when Trump clearly stated in his last election campaign that he won't start any war, and also not send his soldiers into a blind war. But the case is now different. This stupid fight has caused lots of  countries into panicking mode, due to the blockage of the strait of Harmouz, these guys just carry about themselves and power not the welfare of the world.
