As with Irac, he is probably right but not for the stated reasons.

The biggest threat to the United States is the disruption of the flow
of energy from producing regions to the U. S. That would result in
utter chaos, mass unemployment and a depression that would make '29
look like a picnic.

If Iran is the highest and most imminent possibility of that happening
then it is the biggest threat to the U. S.

That is what Irac was all about, not WMD's. When they invaded Kuwait,
it was the first step in complete domination of the region to get
control of the energy resources. That was still S. H.'s goal prior
to the second war.

It all has to do with what may be a futile attempt to stabilize the
energy markets and avoid the catastrophic outcomes in the U. S.that
would occur if the spigot is turned off.

It is never pitched this way because the voting public does not have
enough understanding of macro economics to be comfortable with it. So
it gets pitched as a more understandable threat.
