Iran is stronger today than it was before the war started and this is literally the nightmare scenario that
00:00:07
we've been worrying about and the reason you're having here is because in the next few months the world economic
00:00:13
crisis is going to grow. >> And it does appear that you've been largely correct about what you said
00:00:18
would happen. It's because I've been modeling the bombing of Iran for 20 years and I've advised every White House
00:00:24
from 2001 to 2024 on different issues [music] related to conflict. And right now we're
00:00:32
coming into the stage three prediction. We're like on the Titanic [music] and we're about to hit the iceberg and
00:00:38
when the iceberg hits there's not enough lifeboats for everybody. So we are knocking on the door of the world
00:00:45
literally running out of oil. And then on top of that even, we have another set of problems. For [music] example, Iran
00:00:52
is attacking our base in Jordan and we're in our ninth day of bombing in a row and [music] the scale of eliminating
00:00:58
the drone and missile threat is much bigger than people realize because they hide those drones everywhere. So how
00:01:05
real [music] is the risk that the US will do some kind of limited ground operation with boots on the ground in
00:01:11
Iran? >> It's bordering on [music] 70% now, probably by the end of this week. But
00:01:16
I'm concerned about terrorist attack because controlling pieces of homeland territory is the biggest risk factor
00:01:21
[music] for suicide terrorism. So the choice is do we have a global economic crisis, possibly recession, possibly
00:01:28
worse, or do [music] we let Iran control the Strait of Hormuz? >> This is not a good place to be. So what
00:01:33
is the most probable next thing that you think happens? [music] >> I think that question Stephen is the
00:01:39
most important question in the world and I think the answer is
