Dave Rubin's confident predictions about the Iran war fell apart, and this is bad news for the pro-war pundits who got it wrong.

• Rubin predicted gas prices would fall, the Strait of Hormuz would stay open, and Iran's regime would collapse — none of that happened.
• The war is being called a disaster for the US, with warnings that re-engaging would send gas prices soaring and trigger inflation.
• A viral clip of Iranians "chanting for Netanyahu" was a deepfake; in reality Iranians rallied around their flag and stood on bridges to block bombings.
• Pro-Israel voices like Rubin, Shapiro, and Levin keep promising easy Middle East wars, just as they did before Iraq, and never admit when they're wrong.

Outlook: If the US re-enters the conflict, expect higher gas prices and inflation, with no apology coming from the pundits who pushed the war.
