GEOPOLITICS | CSIS’s Will Todman: Economic Costs Make US-Iran ‘All-Out War’ Unlikely

Will Todman, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), said a low-level conflict with outbursts from both the US and Iran is more likely than an “all-out” war because the economic costs to both countries are too great, according to Bloomberg. Todman said Iran is “very keen” to keep control over the Strait of Hormuz as an economic and strategic negotiating tool.
