SAEDNEWS: Former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has described Washington’s military campaign against Iran as a “mistake,” emphasizing that previous US administrations consistently viewed military action as a last resort.
According to Saednews, Blinken said that President Donald Trump’s decision to launch military action against Iran was a mistake, arguing that previous US administrations had considered such action only as a last resort.
He explained that even if military strikes had been carried out, they would likely have delayed Iran’s nuclear programme by only a few years.
“The programme would have been buried deeper underground, and Iran would eventually return to it with even greater determination,” Blinken said during a panel discussion, according to media reports on Saturday.
He also argued that despite suffering significant losses during the war, Iran has emerged stronger than before.
