The $200 billion President Trump is demanding from Congress to continue the war on Iran could fund free public college, child care and special needs education in the United States, says @RepRoKhanna.

Will the war on Iran benefit China? The price of oil has increased by 60% since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. While U.S. oil companies profit from rising energy prices in the Middle East in the short term, the long-term result could be a stronger global reliance on renewables, which would benefit China, says Laleh Khalili, professor of Gulf studies at the University of Exeter.

Iran is prepared for the long game, says international affairs scholar Vali Nasr. “The longer this war goes on, the more Iran is building leverage and the more the strategic calculations of Israel and the United States appear to be falling short,” argues @vali_nasr.
