TechFlow News, May 2nd: According to foreign media analysis, the conflict with Iran has persisted for over two months without yielding any decisive military or diplomatic outcomes. During this time, Trump faces the risk that the stalemate with Iran could drag on indefinitely—potentially exacerbating problems for both the U.S. and the world beyond those that existed before he initiated this confrontation.
With both sides appearing confident and convinced of their respective advantages—and holding fundamentally divergent positions—there appears to be no clear path toward de-escalation. Even though Iran has recently proposed resuming negotiations, Trump swiftly rejected the offer on Friday.
For Trump and the Republican Party, the consequences of this prolonged impasse are severe. If the conflict remains unresolved, the negative global economic impacts—including persistently high gasoline prices in the U.S.—are likely to continue. This would further pressure Trump, whose approval ratings are already declining, and dim the electoral prospects of Republican candidates—particularly ahead of the November midterm congressional elections.
