This war was started without a clear exit strategy, and now Trump is trapped — either bomb Iran into submission or negotiate with an adversary that holds more leverage than before the fighting began.

The oil shock is already bigger than the 1970s crises, gas is near four dollars and climbing, and there's no quick fix in sight.
