Press TV, Iran: The IMF Report on Gaza War Economic Fallout
I heartily recommend to readers yesterday evening’s News Review on Iran’s Press TV in which I joined ‘academic broadcaster’ David Miller in Bristol to discuss the latest IMF Report on the negative impact that the Gaza War is having on the regional and global economy.
IMF, World Bank: Israel’s bloody Gaza hostilities threaten global economy

Visitors to the site will find that our views diverge on the relevance of the latest IMF report about the Gaza War and on the degree to which relative decline in America’s military dominance bears on the likely outcome of the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
Sadly, I find that there is an air of unreality in the matter of fact IMF report and in similarly dry United Nations reports on looming starvation among the Palestinian population huddled in Rafah and facing a ground assault by Israeli forces. As I comment in this broadcast, it brings to mind the black humor of the worst of the Cold War days.
