Provoking Iran Could Start a War and Crash the Entire World Economy\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tensions in the Persian Gulf are reaching a<\/em> point of no return<\/em><\/a>. In recent weeks,<\/em> six oil tankers<\/em><\/a>have been subjected to <\/em>Israeli sabotage<\/em><\/a> disguised to look like Iranian attacks to induce the United States to take military action against the Islamic Republic. Some days ago Iran rightfully shot out of the sky a US Drone. In Yemen, the Houthis have finally started <\/em>responding<\/em><\/a>with cruise and ballistic missiles to the Saudis\u2019 indiscriminate attacks, causing damage to the Saudi international airport of Abha, as well as blocking, through <\/em>explosive drones<\/em><\/a>, Saudi oil transportation from east to west through one of the largest pipelines in the world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if the political and military situation at this time were not tense and complex<\/a> enough, the two most important power groups in the United States, the Fed and the military-industrial complex, both face problems that threaten to diminish Washington\u2019s status as a world superpower<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fed could find itself defending the role of the US dollar as the world reserve currency during any conflict<\/a> in the Persian Gulf that would see the cost of oil rise to $300 a barrel<\/a>, threatening trillions of dollars in derivatives<\/a> and toppling the global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The military-industrial complex would in turn be involved in a war that it would struggle to contain and even win, destroying the United States\u2019 image of invincibility and inflicting a mortal blow on its ability to project power to the four corners of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just look at how surprised US officials<\/a> were about Iran\u2019s capabilities to shot down an advanced US Drone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
