  • Do you think that we are moving toward war with Iran?
  • Yes, I do.
  • And it looks like the chosen destination is indeed Armageddon.
  • There doesn't seem to be any real appreciation for the implications for us, and frankly for Europe and the world, as well as the Middle East, of such action.
  • Take for an example, just on the economic side, about to twenty percent of the world's oil passes through the Straits of Hormuz every month.
  • Probably twenty five percent of liquefied natural gas.
  • And you're talking about shutting down two to three million barrels a day of oil from Iran.
  • You know this entire region is involved in the war.
  • This is not an Iranian monopoly by any stretch of the imagination.
  • But the point is that when we're looking at ten year treasury yields up over five percent and people are increasingly convinced that the Fed has lost control the economic side of the house is catastrophe.
  • Now when you look at the military side you have to look at the arsenal of missiles.
  • that Iran possesses and they can reach out one thousand two hundred miles with great precision very high explosive conventional warheads that would do enormous damage destroying whole city blocks in places like Haifa Tel Aviv even Jerusalem though I doubt they would attack Jerusalem.
  • The bottom line is that we need to think this through and everyone right now is emoting.
  • There is no thinking anywhere as far as I can tell.
  • The only possible exception may be amazingly enough, Mr. Erdogan in Turkey who came out this morning and indicated he was willing to mediate the dispute between Israel and Hamas.
  • Whether or not anyone in Washington or Israel is interested in talking, I don't know.
  • But if we could sideline Turkey and keep Turkey out of the fight, that would ultimately help Israel enormously.
  • So what would happen to the United States if we followed Senator Graham's advice and just began bombing critical infrastructure in Iran?
  • What would happen then?
  • Well, all of the bases that we have in Iraq and Syria, unfortunately, where we still have over a thousand Americans, all of those would be targeted.
  • And this time, they would target them accurately.
  • And this destruction would be wholesale.
  • I would expect trouble here at home and in the United States because of the open border.
  • Hezbollah has a very large operation in Mexico.
  • There are no doubt many, many, many Hezbollah agents inside the United States.
  • We can only begin to imagine the kind of trouble they could cause.
  • The missile and space program in Iran is very, very advanced, as is their cyber warfare capability.
  • All of these things would be brought to bear against us.
  • But what's most important, I think, for Americans to understand is if we attack Iran on the basis of Hezbollah's alleged willingness to attack Israel if Israel invades Gaza,
  • we will end up in a fight with Russia.
  • Russia will not sit by quietly and watch Iran destroyed by the United States air and naval power in the region.
  • And once Russia enters this, it becomes much more than just a local conflict, maybe more than just a regional war.
  • We haven't thought this through.
  • We need to do that.
  • And I doubt seriously at that point that the Turks would be able to stay out.
