Trita Parsi explains the potential geopolitical and economic fallout if the U.S. or its allies were to escalate military actions against Iran's energy infrastructure.

In this analysis, Trita Parsi discusses why previous strategies, such as assassinating Iranian leaders, have not successfully destabilized the regime. He argues that hawks in Washington and Israel may now be pushing for more direct attacks on Iran's power grids and oil installations. Parsi explains that such an escalation would trigger a dangerous, systemic crisis, as Iran would likely retaliate against GCC energy infrastructure, potentially leading to a massive spike in global oil prices and a worldwide economic recession.
