It has been over a month since the first missiles and bombs struck Iran. Now, a month later, the conflict has left physical scars not only in the vicinity of Iran, but as far as Europe, on the island of Cyprus. The world has its eyes fixed on the choked Strait of Hormuz. Although far from the scene of action, countries across the world are facing the consequences of this conflict as the free flow of oil through the arteries of economies is affected.
The Times of India (online) spoke to renowned economist and public policy analyst Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University over the ongoing conflict. The professor accuses US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of starting the conflict against the advice of experts.
