Jeffrey Sachs Warns of Iran War After Maduro Ouster | US, Oil & Global Fallout

Economist Jeffrey Sachs discusses the recent ouster and alleged kidnapping of Venezuelan President Maduro, comparing the event to the CIA's historical involvement in Haiti. In an exclusive interview with India Today's Geeta Mohan, Sachs asserts that the US operation was motivated by a desire for oil and a long-standing agenda against left-wing governments. He reveals that Donald Trump had suggested invading Venezuela as early as 2017 during a dinner with Latin American leaders. Sachs expresses grave concern that Iran may be the next target of US military action, stating, "The United States fights wars that Israel tells the United States to fight." He warns of a potential global explosion if conflict arises with Iran, citing their hypersonic missile capabilities. Furthermore, Sachs argues that the US is experiencing a constitutional crisis where the executive branch ignores Congress. He calls on BRICS nations, under India's presidency, to uphold the UN Charter and resist the actions of "rogue states" to protect international law.
