See the full interview with Chris Hedges here. Excerpt:
You know, we go far enough up the escalation ladder and the Iranians really go after the Gulf States and really go to great lengths to destroy their oil infrastructure and gas infrastructure, the consequences could be disastrous for everyone on the planet. And the Trump administration understands that. They don’t want to take any chances here. This is why you see evidence that the Trump administration is looking for an off-ramp.
Chris Hedges
Well, the Iranians aren’t going to give it to them, are they?
John Mearsheimer
They’d be crazy to give it to them unless they get a good deal. You hardly see any talk about this in the mainstream media, but all of the talk revolving around the question of an off-ramp in ending this war has to do with how we think we fared in the end and how we think the Israelis fared in the end.
In other words, the Israelis are fearful that if we cut a deal now without regime change or without destroying Iran, this will be a victory for Iran and the Americans might be happy, but we’re not happy.
