Exclusive: Iran is ready for a long war with the US and only economic pain will end it, senior official tells CNN
Since the US and Israel launched the war, Iran has struck a slew of countries across the Middle East. Tehran claims it is targeting US interests in Gulf nations but residential buildings and airports have also repeatedly come under attack. The Iranian strikes have exploited the fragility of the global energy trade including infrastructure and transit routes. Spare capacity measures how much more oil production could quickly get brought back online, if needed. Meanwhile, Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was elevated to the country’s highest post over the weekend, an indication that further escalation is likely.

The Trump administration has started to panic about the spiking price of oil
The Trump administration has started to panic about the spiking price of oil. That run-up has swiftly rippled through to gas prices in the US, spurring a 51-cent-per-gallon jump in the national average over the last week. And Trump officials have now broached the potential for deploying the US’ strategic petroleum reserve, after days of firmly ruling it out as an option. But there is still deep aversion to using the SPR, which the Biden administration leaned on to ease oil prices in 2022 — to only marginal success. The remaining options under discussion within the administration could have some marginal benefit for the oil markets and US gas prices, energy experts said.

The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse?
The Trump administration is currently trapped between the specter of a global economic recession and a naval catastrophe. Analysts believe Iran will prioritize Liquefied Natural Gas tankers first—vessels that could “explode like the Beirut bomb”—followed by oil tankers to maximize environmental and economic chaos. Meanwhile Trump administration officials have stressed a longer-term view that the current market disruption represents short-term pain that will ease and, in the process, create a far more stable reality for global energy supplies. “We have a temporary period of elevated energy prices, but it will not be long,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday in an appearance on CBS Face the Nation. “The real focus has to be on clearing the strait,” an oil industry executive told CNN.

This war, like the previous Iran strikes and the Venezuela operation, is not popular.

Is Iran's regime influencing CNN's coverage?
CNN and its foreign correspondent, Frederik Pleitgen, may boast of being among the only Western media outlets reporting from Tehran. Pleitgen was allowed to report from inside Iran just weeks after conducting a striking interview with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Days after the US and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran, Tehran again allowed Pleitgen to report from inside the country despite a sweeping information blackout. Members of Iranian security forces stand guard during a gathering to support Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, in Tehran, on March 9, 2026. If so, viewers should consider whether CNN’s broadcasts reflect what journalists would freely investigate or simply what the regime permits them to show.
