The Midweek Update - IT'S ENDING: Trump's Iran Strategy Revealed — And Britain's Energy Empire Goes With It - April 1, 2026

The Iran war is ending on Trump's schedule, backed by a pre-planned economic and energy strategy that is breaking the transatlantic energy-control system while exposing states and nations that rejected Drill, Baby, Drill.

Barbara Boyd argues the Iran war is being compressed toward a defined endpoint determined by President Trump and key Arab allies in the Abraham Accords, who want Iran no longer to pose a military threat after attacks on Gulf civilian infrastructure. She says expectations of U.S. ground troops are misguided and that a ceasefire is more likely, citing a Pakistan-China backchannel effort tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s stated willingness to end the conflict under conditions, and Trump’s public consideration of a ceasefire. Boyd frames the conflict as an economic operation with military enforcement aimed at breaking a transatlantic energy-control system: maximum-pressure financial measures weakened Iran before fighting began, while U.S. agencies expanded domestic energy output and Treasury managed oil-supply measures to prevent market collapse. She contrasts Europe and U.S. “green mandate” states facing high fuel costs with “drill” states she says are buffered.
