@iuculano@masto.ai continue the war = tank US markets as Iran becomes increasingly adept at striking us military bases and assets. Exacerbate the oil crisis in nearly a dozen nations and domestically. US enters recession as regular life becomes unaffordable. Europe runs out of jet fuel. End the war = Massive blow to imperialist interests in the middle east. Hard stop for Israel as Washington no longer has the political staying power or weapons stocks to defend its genocides. Israel now faces open pressure from Europe which is now boldened to sever economic ties. Petrodollar allies begin accelerating yuan diversification, stop requesting currency swap. Petrodollar dies, US enters massive recession. Eternal ceasefire= USA enters a north Korean style quagmire, refuses to declare peace, actively rebuilds regional military hegemony, but is unable to isolate or contain Iran as it still controls Hormuz and provides oil to western markets, enjoys Russian and Chinese osint and geospatial intelligence products. Iran becomes too powerful to defeat through conventional warfare, tariffs all ships as reparation for war. Western stagflation ensues.
