1:19:28Now PlayingTrump and his allies keep pretending this Iran war is controlled and strategic. It isn’t. Israel killed Iran’s intelligence minister and hit the South Pars gas field, shared with Qatar. That’s not a narrow strike. It’s a hit on Gulf energy infrastructure, and once you start playing with Gulf oil and gas, you’re gambling with the global economy.
Iran’s threats against energy sites in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE show how serious this is. If Gulf energy production gets hit, this becomes a worldwide energy shock. Oil spikes. Gas spikes. Shipping, fertilizer, plastics, airfare, and store prices all rise. That’s how inflation comes roaring back in the US.
The military escalation is worsening too, with US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz and even foreign conservatives warning Trump has no clear endgame. Meanwhile Russia benefits, Kushner is raising money in the region, and Republicans are still obsessing over virtually nonexistent undocumented voting while the real crisis spreads.
