Could US-Iran conflict trigger World War III and nuclear war?
American economist, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University (New York), Professor Jeffrey Sachs, said that an armed conflict between the United States and Iran could very likely turn into World War III.
"The United States is not interested in a war with Iran because Iran has allies, including Russia. So a war with Iran could easily turn into World War III, and World War III into a nuclear war," Sachs said in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson. The expert added that Israel is trying to drag the United States into "a larger war in the Middle East, which is 100% contrary to American interests."
