The real story isn't who won the latest round.

It's that the conflict itself has become permanent. The missiles may stop, the headlines may fade, but the confrontation remains. West Asia isn't moving towards peace—it's settling into a cycle of endless escalation.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday brushed aside concerns over surging consumer prices, declaring that he “loves the inflation” after fresh data showed inflation climbed to its highest level in more than three years, driven largely by rising energy costs linked to tensions with Iran.

[Firstpost @firstpost]

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump was asked whether he was concerned about the latest inflation report, which showed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 4.2 per cent year-on-year in May, up from 3.8 per cent in April and the fastest pace since April 2023. His response surprised many observers.

[Firstpost @firstpost]

Meanwhile, Iran's military said that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to all vessels “effective immediately” after the US strikes, a claim that US Central Command has since rejected in a statement.
