IT’S ENDING: Trump’s Iran Strategy Revealed — And Britain’s Energy Empire Goes With It

Barbara Boyd at https://www.PrometheanAction.com 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.

Western allies scramble to negotiate with Iran on Zoom call

The UK is hosting a virtual meeting today with ~35 countries (chaired by Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper) to coordinate diplomatic and political pressure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed by Iranian forces amid the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, choking off ~20-25% of global oil shipments and spiking energy prices.

Massively unpopular PM Keir Starmer stressed it’s not Britain’s war—they’re focusing on post-ceasefire measures like safe navigation, freeing trapped ships/seafarers, and resuming trade flows. There is no US participation in the talks. Follow-up military planning is expected. This builds on a March 19 joint statement from multiple nations condemning Iran’s actions and the call for action by President Trump.
