Seyed M. Marandi: If Trump Strikes Iran, Gulf Economies Will Go Up in Flames
Description
Are the US and Israel about to restart their war on Iran? As Netanyahu lobbies for new strikes ahead of Israel's election and Trump weighs the midterms, Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi of the University of Tehran joins me at the Global Governance Forum in Xiong'an. Professor Marandi explains why Tehran expects the next round to be decisive, whatever its timing, and why Iran will treat any American or Israeli attack as one. This time Iran's response will reach far wider, from Gulf energy infrastructure to American economic assets across the region, with consequences he warns could be worse than the 1930s. We discuss Trump's rage at Iran's refusal to capitulate, the MOU off-ramp he abandoned, and the nuclear threats Western media will not condemn.
