Trump says Ayatollah Khamenei's son won't be acceptable leader; US wants say in next leader. US has achieved many initial military objectives, depleted Iran's air defenses.

Picture on ground: dozen countries involved, major impacts from everyday life to markets. Oil production reduced, prices elevated. Biggest US economic indicator: gas prices going up.

Iran trying to figure out what they're able to do. Concern world leaders say weapons/munitions stocks not depleted. US/allies say we can go longer than you. Basic math: $20k drone vs $4M missile to shoot down.

Trump sometimes declares victory and moves on. Venezuela example: surgical mission, Maduro out, next person favorable to US, diplomatic relations restarted. That was quick and easy. Iran is not quick; nothing simple. Iran large, close to neighbors, strategic. Everything here has major impacts, certainly oil, which connects to every other economic story. For many reasons, this is orders of magnitude more complicated.
