Trump’s Iran Ultimatum — What Comes After the Deadline | Prof G Markets
Scott Galloway breaks down Trump's Iran ultimatum, arguing the real danger is not an immediate strike but a slow drift into deeper military involvement with pandemic-scale economic consequences.
The gist
-
Galloway says Trump is unlikely to follow through on total destruction threats because it would crush ally trust and wreck global markets.
-
The bigger risk is mission creep: the timeline has already stretched from days to months, with talk of seizing Iranian oil.
-
Iran retaliating against Gulf infrastructure like Qatar's LNG capacity could cause $20 billion or more in damage and destabilize energy markets.
-
Israel's parallel bombing of 10 railroad targets and chemical facilities raises the chance of Iranian retaliation before any US deadline passes.
