Amb. Chas Freeman: Iran Targets Key Saudi-Bahrain Bridge After U.S. Attacks on it's infrastructures
•
This interview analyzes the escalating military conflict between the US and Iran, and its dangerous spillover into Gulf nations. With diplomacy collapsed, US strikes on Iranian infrastructure have prompted retaliation against US bases and critical civilian facilities, like oil and desalination plants, in host countries. The discussion highlights the unsustainable nature of this escalation, the looming global energy crisis from blockades in the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea, and the severe risks of targeting civilian infrastructure. Ultimately, the conversation explores how this war of attrition may force a US military withdrawal from the region, paving the way for a new, independent West Asian security and economic architecture.
