By: Tupaki Desk | 8 April 2026 11:17 AM ISTUnited States president Trump created a global situation by announcing a war against Iran, which is not progressing well for any of the concerned parties. But the end of the day we have this constant question regarding what did Trump actually materialise through this war.
Both the US and Iran declared victory after the ceasefire that ended their 38-day war, each claiming their objectives had been met. But analysts and observers are pointing out that the real loser in this conflict was neither government, it was ordinary people around the world.
The war severely disrupted oil and gas supplies, plunging many countries into economic hardship. Recovery from those supply shocks is expected to take several more months. While both sides exchange triumphant statements for the sake of appearances, the burden of the conflict continues to weigh heavily on the global economy.
Questions are also being raised about what exactly US President Donald Trump achieved by going to war with Iran. Prior to the conflict, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was smooth and uninterrupted, ensuring there was no global shortage of oil, gas, or energy. But within days of the war beginning on February 28, Iran shut down the strait, triggering an international crisis.
Now, as part of the ceasefire agreement, Iran has reportedly secured a condition that all movement through the Strait of Hormuz will take place under Iranian military supervision.
Critics argue this outcome effectively hands Tehran a strategic advantage it did not have before the war began, leaving many to question whether the costly military campaign served any meaningful purpose for Washington.
