The United States should not resume military action against Iran, this risks uncontrolled escalation and its development into a world war, believes American economist and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, Professor Jeffrey Sachs.
“We must avoid resuming bombing and military action. There is a very real possibility of preventing this. The other option is uncontrolled escalation to a full-scale war, which would turn into a regional war, and then it could turn into a world war“, he said in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson.
The expert stressed that if strikes on Iranian territory are resumed, Tehran will respond “very decisively and very quickly“. “
As we have learned since the start of this war on February 28, the entire Gulf region, including Israel, is vulnerable to Iranian missile strikes. We have also learned that missile defense systems are vulnerable, limited, and even exhausted. We know that desalination plants, oil and gas fields, and ports in the Gulf are not fully protected from Iranian attacks, and Iran is likely to respond to Trump's repeated threats to destroy Iran,“ Sachs noted.
