Economist Jeffrey Sachs has warned of a sharp escalation in the Iran-Israel-US conflict if diplomatic intervention fails, urging the BRICS nations to step in decisively. Speaking to NDTV, Sachs described the conflict as a "war of choice" led by the United States and Israel, and called for global powers to directly intervene to prevent further escalation. He stressed that BRICS-representing nearly half the world's population and economy must act collectively to de-escalate tensions. Sachs also warned that without intervention, the situation could spiral further, with risks to global stability and security, urging world leaders to act before the crisis worsens.
