In the past two days, the US stock market has plummeted, hiding behind it a storm in American politics — the Epstein case involves many elites, leaving everyone on edge and distracted from the market. Trump has also toned down, no longer showing the same toughness as before.

The United States is in an extremely torn state: on one hand, the elite class is deeply embroiled in scandals, while on the other, the truth is being made public, absurd yet real. Trump has not been able to distance himself from this.

Historical experience shows that when internal conflicts intensify, external conflicts often become a common means of diverting attention. Iran's unique geopolitical situation and relatively limited strength may once again be pushed to the forefront, becoming a victim of public opinion diversion.
