The world is on the brink of a nuclear conflict, and the USA seems to be navigating without a compass. Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff at the State Department, raises a chilling alarm: economic interests in Iranian oil could trigger an unprecedented humanitarian and economic disaster.
Donald Trump promised the Americans an easy victory and Iran’s oil, but the reality on the ground is radically different. While the White House dreams of controlling oil reserves, numerous military experts warn that a race against time has begun with an enemy who has nothing more to lose and there is talk of the risks of a nuclear war.
This is also because, in reality, the conflict in the Middle East is on the verge of entering a critical phase. More and more experts believe that the United States of America made a mistake when they decided to attack Iran, an opinion shared by Lawrence Wilkerson, former colonel of the American army and chief of staff for Colin Powell. He dismantles the White House’s enthusiasm and warns that Washington is repeating catastrophic mistakes from the past, just as it did two decades ago in Iraq. His statements were made during an interview conducted by Breaking Points, an independent media platform in the United States, a “new media” type project.

Lawrence Wilkerson starts from the recent statements of Donald Trump for the Financial Times, which he says only add fuel to the fire. The oil stake is a fanciful plan, he believes, after Donald Trump openly declared that his “favorite thing is to take oil from Iran“, directly targeting Kharg Island. Wilkerson considers this approach not only immoral, but also unattainable even in military terms and even in the long run.
“Trump is trying to create an aura of success around the decision to go to war, but he is having great difficulties. You can bomb all the targets in the world, but if you don’t fulfill your strategic mission, it’s nonsense,” says the colonel.
