Senior Iranian official: We are prepared for a war that could last two years

Iran is talking tough again, with a CNN reporting citing a senior Iranian official saying: The war could last two years, and we are prepared for that.

In terms of named officials, deputy foreign minister Saeed Khatibzadeh says”Even the Americans know that this violation cannot remain unresponded to… Iran’s response will be calculated, but definitely within the framework of our rights.”

In short, this doesn’t sound like the end but with no appetite for a ground war and Trump already barking about oil prices, what’s the risk here to the global economy?
