Trita Parsi Warns Donald Trump Might Consider All-Out War with Iran
· World · The Hindu, Indian Express
Quincy Institute Executive Vice-President Trita Parsi stated that US President Donald Trump could consider launching an all-out war against Iran after the midterm elections. Speaking on The Hindu podcast The View from India, Mr. Parsi explained that Mr. Trump believes limited war, diplomacy, and economic coercion have all failed to achieve his objectives regarding Tehran. He noted that Iran appears prepared for a prolonged conflict aimed at establishing a new, uncontested order in the Persian Gulf. Regarding the escalating conflict in Yemen, Mr. Parsi suggested that Saudi Arabia walked into a trap of its own making due to questionable military prowess and failing airport defenses. The exact intentions of the US administration beyond these considerations remain unconfirmed.
Why it matters
A potential escalation to full-scale war between the US and Iran would severely disrupt Middle Eastern stability, impact global crude supplies, and carry direct economic consequences for energy-importing nations like India.
