On a single day in June 2026, the United States found itself pulled by two distinct forces — the sound of military strikes against Iran echoing across a region long held in tension, and the quieter but no less urgent signal of inflation reaching its highest point in three years.

History has often asked governments to manage war and want simultaneously, and the answer to that question rarely comes without sacrifice.
