Trump’s worst nightmare? Iran is reportedly considering a three-step economic strategy targeting oil flows, the Strait of Hormuz and energy prices—with potentially serious consequences for the U.S. economy and President Donald Trump’s political standing.
A report citing an anonymous senior Iranian official says the strategy could involve targeting key oil bypass routes through Saudi Arabia and the UAE, attempting to further disrupt oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, and ultimately using higher energy prices and inflation to create political pressure on Trump ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Iranian adviser Majid Shakeri has also argued that Tehran should increase oil-related tensions before the midterms, adding fuel to speculation that economic pressure could become another front in the U.S.-Iran confrontation.
If oil supplies are severely disrupted, crude prices could rise, potentially pushing gasoline prices higher and adding inflationary pressure on American households.
However, the detailed three-step Iranian plan has not been independently confirmed by major international news organizations and remains a reported strategy rather than an established operational plan.
Watch the full report for the latest on Trump, Iran, oil prices, Strait of Hormuz tensions, inflation, gas prices, the U.S. economy and the 2026 midterms.
