American economist Richard Wolff analyzed that the US decision to wage war on Iran is driven by three key domestic political factors. First, it serves to divert public attention from America's relative national decline by projecting an image of military strength, he said. Second, it aims to distract from the escalating political fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which threatens to expose more powerful figures, Wolff added. Finally, it is a tactic to deflect from the severe economic crisis, particularly the unsustainable wealth gap and the erosion of the middle class, he noted. #goodpoint
