The ongoing Israeli-American war on Iran, for all its complexity and global effects, boils down to a single question: Who can take the pain the longest? A surge in oil prices points to what may be Iran’s most effective weapon and the United States’ biggest vulnerability in continuing the campaign: Damaging the world economy. Wednesday’s major developments include Iranian attacks against commercial ships across the Persian Gulf and its targeting of Dubai International Airport.
