President Donald Trump’s decision to launch a war on Iran has raised questions about the effectiveness of the world order established after World War II. Critics argue that Trump’s unchecked power and disregard for international law are undermining the system of checks and balances. Despite violating international law with attacks on Venezuela and Iran, Trump has shown little regard for legal constraints. The UN has been unable to rein in Trump’s actions, as other countries fear repercussions for speaking out against him. While some middle powers have pushed back against Trump’s actions, they have not been able to prevent his aggressive policies. Experts believe that economic pressure from Gulf states may eventually bring an end to the conflict with Iran.
