Tit-for-tat energy war between the US and Iran is a disaster in the making

Four weeks into the war started by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Tehran regime, propped up by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Cporps, is showing no sign of backing down or lessening the tension, let alone seeking a peace deal. In fact the war is now reaching a truly dangerous stage, with Trump warning he will obliterate Iran's energy infrastructure, and Tehran saying it will respond in kind by showering the Gulf states' energy plants with ballistic missiles. And what, I might ask, is the hell the point of doing that? It will lead to an enormous breach in the world economy, poverty for the Iranian people and a wider war thoughout the Middle East. For God's sake, someone step forward and get some sense into the White House and Tehran and stop this warmongering. If Iran tries again to hit Israel's nuclear research site at Dimona, then Israel is going to respond with an almighty blast at Iran. Israel has around 80 nuclear warheads. If Netanyahu feels Israel's very existence is at stake, he could reach for the weapon of last resort. I only mention this because the rhetoric is now getting hyper-bellicose. Everyone needs to calm down. Who is actually working to get this war to stop? PLEASE BUY AGENT REDRUTH, MY NEW SPY THRILLER, SEQUEL TO SHADOW LIVES. AMAZON, WATERSTONES, ROWANVALE BOOKS
