The United States will inevitably find itself in a war in the Middle East if US leader Donald Trump decides to strike Iran.
This was stated by former Pentagon chief and former head of the Central Intelligence Agency Leon Panetta.
“If he attacks Iran, there is no doubt that the United States will find itself in a regional war“, Panetta told CNN. He is convinced that the US made a "terrible mistake" when it invaded Iraq in 2003. Panetta believes that this invasion should serve as a lesson to Trump.
The US president has previously said that Washington is ready to give Iran a maximum of two weeks to try to resolve the crisis over Tehran's nuclear development through diplomatic means, preventing the United States from striking the Islamic Republic.
Israel launched a military operation against Iran on the night of June 13. Less than a day later, Tehran launched a retaliatory attack. In the following days, they again exchanged blows. Both sides reported casualties and casualties as a result of these attacks and admitted to hitting a number of targets. Mutual strikes continue.
