Description: 

Professor Robert Pape joins Clayton Morris on Redacted on Trump's Operation Economic Outcast against Iran.

The Trump administration, through Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has launched 'Operation Economic Outcast,' an economic campaign against Iran described as an 'economic D-Day.' 

The goal is to sever Iran's global financial connections. 

Pape, of the University of Chicago, argues this strategy is an 'escalation trap' that historically leads to more military conflict, not less. Citing past sanctions on Germany in WWI, Japan before Pearl Harbor, and Iraq in the 1990s, he explains that such measures harden regimes and provoke retaliation.
