The prophet who forecasts a long war in Iran and oil at 200 dollars
A political analyst compared the war in Iran with Ukraine, predicting a conflict of attrition that could last for years, with oil shooting up to 200 dollars and a global reconfiguration. But skepticism was quick to trinc: geographic and political differences make the analogy limp, and the historical precedents of doom-mongering predictions call for caution.
The professor's thesis: Iran as the new Ukraine
The expert argues that the confrontation in Iran will replicate the Ukrainian model: a long war in which neither side will concede defeat, even if a ceasefire is the most sensible option. The mountainous terrain, militias with centuries of grudges and the interests of foreign powers (the US, Israel, Russia) make the board far more complex than the European plains. The world economy would pay the price: oil could double to 200 dollars a barrel, triggering a global energy crisis.
The counter-analysis: armchair geopolitics vs. realities on the ground
The skepticism focused on several points. First, the Ukraine-Iran comparison is forced: local actors, interests and geography are radically different. Second, an oil price of 200 dollars is not inevitable; Saudi Arabia and the UAE have spare capacity to moderate the market. Third, predictions of collapse usually fail because history is an unpredictable chaos, not an exact science. Even the artificial intelligence bubble, which has inflated values like NVIDIA, could be hit by an accelerated deglobalization.
The NVIDIA factor: a safe haven in the storm?
Amid the geopolitical debate, the question about NVIDIA came up: will it reach 240 dollars this year? The answer depends on whether the AI hysteria holds up or whether a prolonged war turns semiconductors into a strategic asset. But mixing apocalyptic predictions with stock analysis of a single stock is like forecasting the weather by staring at a distant wind map.
Possible or probable?
The debate highlighted a key distinction: a scenario being possible does not miccionan it is probable. The professor paints a plausible future if all the stars of misfortune align, but analysts who predict with clockwork precision usually fail. Human collective stupidity is unpredictable, and a miscalculation can change the course of events.
The analysis leaves more questions than certainties: how far is Israel willing to go to sabotage Trump's plan? What role do the ICC and international pressure play? The only consensus is that today's geopolitics is a powder keg, and that absolute predictions should be taken with a grain of salt.
