'Trump Wants To Confront China': Jeffrey Sachs On American-Israeli Designs Amid Hormuz Blockade

The Iran war, Trump, Israel, and the bigger global game, Jeffrey Sachs doesn’t hold back. In this explosive take, Sachs calls out what he describes as a dangerous mix of power, ego, and unchecked decision-making driving the conflict. According to him, this is not about strategy, markets, or politics, but about leadership that is increasingly detached from reality. He argues that both Trump and Netanyahu miscalculated the war, expecting quick results, only to find themselves locked in an escalating conflict with no clear exit. And now, instead of de-escalation, the path ahead may only see deeper destruction, wider regional spillover, and even the risk of ground invasion.
