16:30Now PlayingHawk covers a recent Breaking Points interview with Professor Jiang, who made three bold predictions in May 2024, six months before the election: Trump would win the presidency, the US would go to war with Iran, and the US would lose that war. Two of those predictions have already come true. Professor Jiang explains why he stands by the third.
The conversation centers on Iran's strategic advantages, including its 20 years of preparation for a conflict with what it calls the "Great Satan," and its ability to study and exploit weaknesses in Israeli and American air defense systems, including Iron Dome. Iran is targeting desalination plants across the Gulf States and Israel, threatening the fresh water supply for tens of millions of people.
Professor Jiang outlines the massive cost asymmetry between American interceptor missiles running into the millions and Iranian Shahad drones costing around $50,000, and why American munitions are running out. He warns that the Gulf States, the lynchpin of the petrodollar system and a major source of AI investment capital, face an existential threat. If the GCC falls, the petrodollar goes with it, and with it the broader US dollar reserve currency system. He also addresses the question of ground troops in Iran, regime change, Saudi Arabia's role in pushing for the attack, and why this conflict signals a shift toward a multipolar world order.
