Jeffrey Sachs: The Psychotic Iran War | Judaism’s “Chosen People” Problem | This Ends How?

Mar 16, 2026 | In this wide-ranging conversation, economist and public intellectual Jeffrey Sachs discusses the rapidly escalating conflicts shaping today’s world—from the war with Iran and the crisis in the Middle East to the ongoing confrontation in Ukraine.

We explore the deeper forces driving these conflicts, including the role of ideology, religion, and power in shaping modern geopolitics.

Sachs also weighs in on controversial questions surrounding Zionism, debates about the idea of “chosenness” in Judaism, and how religious identity and historical narratives influence political decision-making.

The discussion also touches on elite power networks, intelligence agencies, and lingering questions surrounding figures like Jeffrey Epstein and the shadowy intersections of influence, politics, and global strategy.

Looking back over his extraordinary career advising governments during the economic transitions of Bolivia, Poland, and the former Soviet Union, Sachs reflects on the experiences that shaped his worldview.

Once deeply embedded within the global policy establishment, he explains how decades of witnessing power up close—from Washington to Moscow—gradually led him to question the assumptions and incentives driving today’s foreign policy decisions. The result is a candid conversation about the psychology of power, the ideas that motivate leaders, and why Sachs believes the international system is drifting toward increasingly dangerous confrontations.

Economist Jeffrey Sachs: US-Israeli "War of Choice," Assault on UN Charter Could Lead to WWIII

Mar 14, 2026 | The global economy has been rocked by the war in the Middle East, with Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz threatening energy flows and sending the price of oil soaring to its highest level in years. The United Nations Security Council responded to the unprovoked US-Israeli war by passing a resolution this week condemning Iran — specifically for its attacks on US allies in the region — while ignoring the role of the Trump administration and the Netanyahu government in instigating the bloodshed. Economist Jeffrey Sachs joins Democracy Now! to discuss the fallout of the "war of choice" and why it also constitutes an assault on the United Nations.

"This is so out of control, without any logic, any rationality, not any humane, moral, legal justification whatsoever," says Sachs. "It will lead to world war the way we're going, because we have two malignant narcissists, Netanyahu and Trump, that are leading us to disaster."

“Heading to World War 3!” Israel & US 'Armageddon' in Iran | Feat. Jeffrey Sachs

Mar 10, 2026 | The new Ayatollah shares not only a name and a bloodline with his assassinated father - but also the hard line views that America and Israel are sworn enemies and weakness and chaos in the region makes its neighbours easier to control.

It’s therefore no surprise, under current circumstances, that Israel says it will kill the new Ayatollah - and the one after that.

But many people are still struggling to answer the two prerequisite questions: Why is the US at war? And why does it have to be now?

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, a senior advisor to the United Nations, was recently caught on film confronting ambassador Danny Danon about Israel’s ‘suicide’ mission - and they both join Piers Morgan to give their view on the escalating situation.

Piers also speaks to former IDF international spokesman Doron Spielman, former Israeli negotiator and president of the US/Middle East Peace Project, Daniel Levy, ‘Provoked’ author Scott Horton and Tehran University’s Dr Foad Izadi.

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.

Jeffrey Sachs: We Are Now in the Early Days of World War III

Mar 7, 2026 | Prof. Jeffrey Sachs argues that the world may already be entering the early stages of World War III, as the rapidly escalating conflict involving Iran begins to draw in additional countries and regional actors. The initial strikes and retaliations risk triggering a wider chain reaction across the Middle East and beyond, particularly as allied militias, regional powers, and global powers become increasingly involved. The traditional mechanisms of escalation control—diplomatic restraint, clear red lines, and international mediation—appear to be breaking down, raising the danger that what began as a regional confrontation could evolve into a far broader global conflict.

Prof Jeffrey Sachs Rips into Netanyahu and Zionism

He explains everything here.

‘Deep Dark Son of a B**ch’: Jeffrey Sachs Loses Cool at Netanyahu's Iran War | US News

Mar 4, 2026 | American economist Jeffrey Sachs launches a fierce critique of U.S. foreign policy, accusing Washington and President Donald Trump of misleading the public over wars in the Middle East, including Iran. He questions whether American democracy truly functions on life-and-death decisions, claims wars were sold through narratives and focus groups, and argues interventions from Iraq to Syria were based on phony pretences. Sachs also criticises regime change operations, CIA secrecy, and what he calls a “game” of power politics. He warns America’s greatest risks come from within, not from China.
