‘No Grownups in the Room’: Jeffrey Sachs Blasts Trump as Iran War ‘Spirals Out of Control’

Economist Jeffrey Sachs delivers a scathing verdict on Donald Trump, warning there are “no grownups in the room” as the Middle East crisis deepens. Sachs says the situation is spiralling out of control, raising fears of a wider regional war with global consequences. He criticises the lack of strategic restraint, cautioning that escalating tensions with Iran could destabilise the global economy and trigger a dangerous geopolitical chain reaction. As pressure builds, Sachs’ remarks add to growing alarm over how far the conflict could go.
