00:00:00
So there are five scenarios in which the
00:00:02
war could end because Trump is stupid
00:00:03
enough to take on what Israel wanted to
00:00:06
do, which was destroy Iran, but they've
00:00:08
bitten off far more than they can chew.
00:00:10
So scenario one is Iran destroys the
00:00:12
Gulf power infrastructure. I think
00:00:13
that's highly likely. And if that
00:00:15
happens, then Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
00:00:18
Dubai, they'll become uninhabitable. And
00:00:20
then scenario two, Iran disables
00:00:22
Israel's nukes. I hope that happens. But
00:00:24
there's this one, and it scares the
00:00:27
out of me. Professor Steve, I have so
00:00:29
many questions. What is going on?
00:00:30
>> So, this war is threatening everybody on
00:00:32
the planet. And what Trump is doing at
00:00:33
the moment is a pump and dump scheme.
00:00:35
He's trying to drive up the oil price
00:00:36
and exploiting it for his friends and
00:00:38
for his own wealth in the process. So,
00:00:40
people are focusing upon the price of
00:00:42
this. But the really important point is
00:00:44
this, the straight of Ham. So, oil,
00:00:46
fertilizer, helium, all have to pass
00:00:48
through the straight of Hul
00:00:49
>> and Iran have blocked that gap.
00:00:51
>> So, they can say you do or do not pass
00:00:53
depending on your country's attitude
00:00:55
towards our country. And that's quite
00:00:57
terrifying because 20 to 30% of our
00:00:59
fertilizer comes through at this point.
00:01:00
But if this is not available, the globe
00:01:02
has a famine.
00:01:03
>> Do you think he will send ground troops
00:01:04
in?
00:01:04
>> Yes, I do. But I'd hate to be one of
00:01:06
those troops because it's a suicide
00:01:08
mission. They've got underground
00:01:09
military units of weapons [music] and
00:01:11
troops, but we have no idea of the
00:01:12
scale.
00:01:13
>> Trump keeps saying that the war has been
00:01:14
won.
00:01:15
>> Yeah.
00:01:15
>> What's going on there in your view?
00:01:16
>> I think he's been fed propaganda to tell
00:01:19
him that he's winning the war by his
00:01:21
immediate advisers because you cannot
00:01:23
tell a person like that that they've
00:01:24
made a mistake. We'll talk about that as
00:01:26
well. But you developed a bit of a
00:01:27
reputation because you're very good at
00:01:28
predicting things. So, which of these
00:01:30
five outcomes do you think is most
00:01:32
probable to happen?
00:01:34
>> Oh god.
