Iranian security forces gather to express support for the new supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, amid theUS-Israel conflict in Tehran, Iran’s capital.

Now that grocery prices have dropped, the housing crisis is over and gas prices are definitely cheaper than ever, let’s shift our focus on something less pressing: the rapidly approaching war.

You there, living in the United States, are not feeling the direct repercussions of the attacks on Iran like most people living in most middle eastern countries, but you should be scared because this conflict may be escalating into another world war.

No, Iran will not directly bomb us, or any city in the United States. But, you know what will be hit? The resources we get. 

Are we already at war? That will depend on who you ask. If you’re part of the 1% or, hell, even the 10%, you probably aren’t bothered by what is going on or even reading this.

But if you are the average American, your day to day expenses will increase, opportunities to experience the ethnic culture of the Middle East will be hampered and unrest will only grow.

 Following joint missile attacks from the U.S. and Israel, Iran responded by attacking U.S. military bases in its neighbouring Arab countries, resulting in millions of dollars in damages, increasing tension in the area.

In a recent turn of events, Spain has also refused Trump’s request to use Spanish bases to attack Iran. And Trump did what Trump does best, he threatened to cut off trades.

Now is the time to start paying attention.

With the status of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil trade route, international trade and the cost of living for millions of Americans also lies in the balance.

Despite what many may think, many countries have never considered America the shining star of democracy. 

But hey, what do I know about an obviously collapsing economy being played by billionaires’ blood money? War with Iran, gas and grocery prices skyrocketing and named co-conspirators in the Epstein files running amok, what’s new?
