Calling Donald Trump a 'fool', Sachs argues that Iran is not going to surrender as Trump imagines, calling the conflict a major strategic miscalculation by the United States and Benjamin Netanyahu. He also frames the war as part of a larger geopolitical power struggle, with the US seeking dominance over the Gulf and Iran resisting falling in line, unlike other regional players.
Perhaps most crucially, Sachs says only major global powers like India, Russia, and China can step in to de-escalate the situation before the crisis spirals further.
