Ian Bremmer, President and Founder of Eurasia Group, says the Iran war is largely driven by President Donald Trump’s decisions and the US leader now appears to be searching for a quick exit as oil prices rise and risks around the Strait of Hormuz grow.

He also highlights differences between the US and Israel on war objectives and warns that uncertainty in the region could keep energy markets volatile.
