Thekabarnews.com—A senior advisor to President Donald Trump has told the US to stop fighting Iran. They warn that worsening conditions could severely impact the Middle East and global energy markets. Such a scenario could potentially lead to increased oil prices and destabilization of regional economies.

David Sacks, who advises the White House on cryptocurrency and AI, told lawmakers to think about a strategic exit while they were declaring victory. He said such a move would stop the fight from becoming a long-term war in the region.

Sacks warned that a prolonged conflict could have dire consequences for Israel. Israel has already faced numerous attacks.

He said that if the war goes on for weeks or months, it could hurt Israel badly. Such an outcome would make things worse and more dangerous.

“There are many scary things that could happen next,” Sacks said.

One is that it could cause people to fight without control and use deadlier weapons, such as chemical or biological agents. Such an event would escalate the conflict significantly.

He said that if these systems stopped working, tens of millions of people might not be able to get clean water. He said the outcome could be “catastrophic” for the economy and locals.

Sacks stated that if these systems broke down, tens of millions of people might not be able to get clean water. He said the possible outcome would be “catastrophic” for the economy and people’s lives.

Sacks went on to say that Iran has what he called a “dead man’s switch” capability. This means it could attack oil and gas infrastructure all over the Gulf.

These kinds of things could make the world’s energy supplies less stable and raise oil prices. Such actions would have an effect on the economy around the world.

Sacks said that Iran’s military power has gotten weaker since the US and Israel attacked. However, things could still get worse.

He said that even a weaker enemy could still use asymmetric strategies to make things challenging, such as guerrilla warfare or cyber attacks. These could complicate military responses and escalate tensions in the region.

Washington was worried about the direction US policy was taking in the conflict at the time. This concern is why he said what he did.

Sacks says that some groups in US politics want the US to get more involved, like sending ground troops to Iran or trying to change the government there. He said that these actions could cause Iran and its allies in the area to attack.

The war started on February 28 when the US and Israel attacked together. Many people have already died. Iranian officials say that more than 1,300 people have died. The US military and officials in Israel have also said that people have died.

At the same time, markets all over the world are starting to feel the effects of higher oil prices and an uncertain economy. Long-term instability could hurt support for the US government as gas prices go up.

Sacks thought that the most important thing to do was to calm everything down.

“If escalation does not work, policymakers need to find a way to step back,” he remarked.

As things worsen, the argument over sending more troops or pulling them out will likely influence the US’s next actions in the Middle East.
