US EditionIran Attacks Threaten US Economy with More Uncertainty Around Inflation
The U.S.-Israeli strikes severely weakened Iran’s military and political influence across 10 Middle East countries, triggering widespread retaliation and regional realignment, experts say.
- On February 28, coordinated U.S.-Israeli air strikes began inside Iran, killing Iran's supreme leader and causing reprisals affecting ten countries within 48 hours, Trump said it could continue for weeks.
- U.S. and Israeli officials said the strikes aimed to degrade Iran's military posture and deter threats including concerns about its nuclear potential, arriving as Iran's authoritarian regime faces its most precarious moment since the revolution.
- With millions sheltering in place and mourning, hundreds of drones swarmed several borders while the world's busiest airport was shuttered, disrupting daily life amid attacks.
- A diminished Iran would reshape regional alignments, likely weakening the 'axis of resistance' and reducing Iran-backed militias' influence in Iraq, forcing Gulf Arab states to reassess their mediation efforts.
- China has escalated diplomatic rhetoric since the February 28 strikes, calling them a violation of international law and warning of spillover at a March 2 briefing, while Webster said 'Beijing would love to see the United States bloodied and embarrassed by this conflict, but a huge conflict in the Middle East could also upend their calculus and insert lots of uncertainty that they don't want'.
