The military conflict between the United States and Iran has erupted, and Trump is facing pressure from diplomacy, energy, and midterm elections. The United States has reinstated sanctions on Iranian oil sales, Iran has launched retaliatory strikes on US military bases, and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is tense.
