‘He’s trapped’: Trump can’t attack Iran without causing global economic shock

The Australian Columnist Tom Switzer warns escalating strikes on Iran could trigger a wider regional conflict and send the global economy into chaos.

“I think it’s a sign that he’s well and truly trapped,” Mr Switzer told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“If he decides to escalate and the US starts bombing civilian infrastructure and power plants, that will surely ignite retaliation by the Iranians.

“That will only increase the prospects of a regional war and an economic shock, possibly a global recession.”
