Renowned American journalist Tucker Carlson has made a startling claim, stating that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East could lead to the bankruptcy of the United States government and a nuclear war with Iran. In a social media post on X, Carlson expressed his concerns about the conflict between Israel and Hamas potentially escalating into a larger war between Iran, its allies, and the West. He warned that such a war could easily involve the use of nuclear weapons, resulting in the loss of millions of lives and the collapse of the global economy. At the very least, the United States would face an unprecedented energy crisis.
Carlson emphasized that the current conflict has already caused a surge in energy prices, and if this trend continues, the United States will experience a far more severe depression than that of the 1930s. He criticized US Senator Lindsey Graham for his threats against Iran, stating that Graham fails to comprehend the potential consequences of a US attack on Iran.
Earlier, the Chair of the Defense Committee of the German Bundestag, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, called for a tougher stance on Iran and the strengthening of sanctions against Tehran. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Hamas.
As tensions in the Middle East continue to rise, the international community is left on edge, fearing the disastrous outcomes that could result from further escalation. The potential for a nuclear war and the economic implications of such a conflict make it imperative for global leaders to prioritize diplomacy and seek peaceful resolutions to the ongoing tensions. The world watches with bated breath as the situation unfolds, hoping for a de-escalation and a path towards stability in the region.
