Peter Schiff, a renowned American economist, wrote tonight (March 31st, Beijing Time): "According to Trump's latest statements, this is the 'victory' for which some Americans have sacrificed their lives, while the rest of us will pay the price in debt and inflation: the Iranian regime continues to hold power, grows even more hardened, Iranians develop deeper hatred toward the United States, and oil prices remain persistently high. Aside from that, we supposedly won."
[Sarcastic] A few remarks: Trump claims he's won big, but the reality couldn't be further from the truth. This self-proclaimed 'victory' over Iran is nothing more than imperialist self-deception: the Iranian regime remains untoppled by U.S. and Israeli actions; anti-American sentiment has been fully ignited among the Iranian populace; control over the Strait of Hormuz has never slipped from Iran’s grasp; meanwhile, the U.S. is left to suffer the consequences. American troops have paid with their lives, American citizens face soaring oil prices and rampant inflation, the government shoulders massive war debts, and even attempts to make Gulf states bear the cost are met with cold indifference. The so-called 'victory' is merely Trump's own boasting—a political bubble built on the sacrifice of national interests and public well-being.
