No Winners in US Attack on Iran: Trump Warned of Global and Economic Fallout

In an interview on the "Daniel Davis / Deep Dive" channel, retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor offered a stark analysis of the potential consequences of a US military attack on Iran. Macgregor warned that such action, driven by a push from figures like Mike Pompeo and major donors for regime change, would likely backfire catastrophically.

He argued that Iran, a nation of over 90 million with significant missile capabilities, cannot be successfully invaded or occupied. A strategy limited to economic strangulation and bombardment would likely trigger a devastating military retaliation against US regional bases and allies. This, Macgregor stated, would place President Trump in an untenable position, forced to escalate despite lacking a viable path to victory.

Beyond the immediate conflict, the interview warned of severe second-order effects. An attack would accelerate global fragmentation, pushing more nations toward the BRICS bloc and away from the US-led financial system, hastening de-dollarisation. Domestically, the economic consequences could be profound, potentially exacerbating existing financial strains. The ultimate conclusion was a bleak one: there would be no winners, and the resulting global instability would be severe and lasting.
