Professor of Strategic Management and Human Capital Development Okey Ikechukwu has alleged that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is showing no signs of seeking a ceasefire.
Speaking in an interview with Channels TV, the professor highlighted that Trump’s assumption that Iran was on the verge of submission could prove dangerously wrong. “Trump’s statement was purely speculative and based on the assumption that whatever he is doing now he will quickly clean up.
But in making that statement, he has no access to the workings of the minds of the Iranians. He (Trump) has taken out their leader. The son is now in charge, and from what the son is saying, he is preparing for greater combat. So now we are not sure how this is going to play out,” he said.
Ikechukwu drew a comparison with the Russia-Ukraine war, which was widely expected to last two weeks but was still raging four years later, warning that similar miscalculations could define this conflict.
He further stated that the ripple effects on the global economy, Europe, America, and Africa were equally unpredictable at this stage. He pointed to rising fuel prices as an early sign of the conflict’s reach, and noted that Iran’s new leader had already warned that oil could hit $200 per barrel as a consequence of what Tehran was planning.
