Jeffrey Sachs Warns US Militarism Risks Wider War Over Iran

Mar 8, 2026 | Jeffrey Sachs, a public policy analyst and former senior advisor to the UN, strongly criticizes the US's militaristic and imperialistic actions, particularly under the current administration. He warns of the devastating consequences of the conflict with Iran, and highlights China and most of the world's belief in international law and multilateralism, in contrast to the US's disregard for these principles. Sachs argues that the US is not listening to calls for cooperation, and is instead seeking conquest and hegemonic control, risking World War III.
