Bombing Iran

On this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton examines the potentially devastating consequences of bombing Iran, from widespread destruction in the Persian Gulf to disruptions in global energy supplies, food production, and international trade.

Mark also explores the history of US intervention in Iran and the powerful political and financial interests that benefit from military conflict. He argues that the Deep State, the Federal Reserve, and the military-industrial complex sustain a system of intervention and crony capitalism—and that fundamental monetary reform is essential to dismantling their power.
