Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs Critiques US-Israel Actions Against Iran as Geopolitical Strategy

Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs criticized recent US-Israel military actions against Iran, describing them as driven by imperial ambitions to maintain regional dominance and control over Middle Eastern oil rather than genuine security threats. Sachs challenged claims of an immediate Iranian nuclear threat, suggesting the conflict serves broader geopolitical interests. He also accused former US President Donald Trump of aligning with Israeli leadership, warning of risks of escalating global tensions.
