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