WORLD | Trump’s Wild Bullet – And It Might Actually Hit the Mark

Markets are reeling, retaliation shakes the Gulf, WWIII whispers persist, and energy prices remain volatile.

Tucker Carlson, who has reportedly been "chatting with Iran for months," called the strikes “disgusting and evil,” aggressively lobbying to halt escalation.

Candace Owens amplified the furious antisemitic wave that has flooded X in recent months - ranging from false-flag conspiracies and “Israel controls Trump” rants to recycled tropes about cabals and child sacrifice, now turbocharged online.

From the Mediterranean vantage point, though, the picture shifts.

For decades, Iran funded Hezbollah, Houthis, and militias; threatened the Strait of Hormuz (20% of global oil); and kept the region perpetually on edge, while financing its groups through US and EU channels via sanctions evasion, shadow banking, and past relief windfalls.

A crippled regime flips the script:

Secure shipping lanes, leading to stable energy and no more Tehran-triggered shocks.

Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain) can finally align more openly with the West.

Turkey, long entangled as an unwitting or opportunistic conduit in Iran's proxy games across Syria and Iraq - silenced.

Greece, Cyprus, and Israel breathe easier for energy cooperation and security.

Iranians might finally break free from a regime exporting terror while crushing its own people.

Trump's play may look reckless from afar - a wild bullet in the fog.

But two weeks in, with missile launchers damaged, leadership shaken, and proxies pressured, it might just reset the board for real regional stability.

Sometimes the craziest shot lands where it counts.

Haven't we all forgotten that one does not negotiate with terrorists?

Isn't this why you voted for him anyway?
