In an exclusive interview with CGTN host Tian Wei, Adam Tooze, director of the European Institute at Columbia University, described the Israel-Iran conflict as "unprecedentedly confused," noting its escalation into war, violence and widespread use of heavy armaments. Tooze pointed out a troubling pattern of "capricious, crazy, erratic decision-making" from the U.S., drawing parallels with the unpredictability seen in White House trade policies. He also shared valuable insights on the broader dynamics of "world ordering," offering a keen analysis of the current geopolitical landscape.
