Iran war will be remembered as Trump's big mistake, "a grave grave miscalculation": Shyam Saran, former Foreign Secretary, to Karan Thapar for The Wire. ......................................... In a comprehensive interview which covers many aspects of the Middle East war, India’s former Foreign Secretary, Shyam Saran, says that the present Middle East war will be remembered as Trump’s big mistake. He called it “a grave grave miscalculation”. He called it “a grievous blow to the United States and it will take a long time for the United States to recover from this.” In the interview, Mr. Saran says that he would not preclude the possibility that Trump might seek to bomb Iran back to the stone age. He made this point two-three times. “It is within the capacity of the United States really to bomb Iran back to the stone age. That capability does exist … I cannot see any good outcomes coming out of this … I would not preclude that possibility because the manner in which the United States has been behaving under Mr. Trump seems to be actually rejecting any humanitarian constraint, rejecting any kind of international law governing this conflict which is taking place. Essentially, they have been saying we don’t observe any rules at all. So if you are not ready to observe any rules at all and you have this kind of a macho kind of approach that we can completely destroy you and annihilate you, if that is the frame of mind in which you are looking at this who knows this could actually be the outcome.” Mr. Saran also said that the world could face a global recession with serious international implications. He said: “What you are certainly going to see – as you are beginning to see already – there is a global outcome, an adverse outcome to this war, whether it is in terms of energy security, whether it is in terms of food security, whether it is in terms of what is happening to the financial markets … so across the world, particularly amongst countries which are the most vulnerable, the impact has already been seen … it may remain a regional war in terms of being the theatre of the war but it’s a global war because the impact of this war is across the whole world … so you are really looking at a global recession. There is no other word for it. There is a global recession which is staring us in the face and you may have a global recession which is combined with inflation.” This would be stagflation i.e. stagnation and inflation together.
