A new US-Israeli strike on Iran looks all but certain in the next few weeks, and the panel warns it could spiral into a global economic crisis.

• Israeli and US officials are reportedly moving ships, Marines, and bombers into place, with an attack expected either right before Israel's election on October 27 or right after the US midterms in early November.
• Netanyahu has said repeatedly that the goal is regime change in Iran, not just stopping a nuclear program, and that he won't wait for American approval.
• Iran's top security official says any new attack would be met with retaliation against US military assets, Gulf oil fields, and even internet cables and data centers, not just a one-sided beating.
• A wider war would likely send oil and gas prices sharply higher and, if an AI company or bank fails as a result, could trigger a broader financial collapse.
• Both Trump and Netanyahu face political pressure (midterms and a tight Israeli election) that may be pushing them toward war despite the economic risk.

Outlook: Expect a US-Israeli strike on Iran within the next two weeks, with Iran vowing to fight back for years rather than surrender, raising real risk of a prolonged war and a global economic downturn.
