Former Trump Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis warns of the dangers of internal divisions: 'We owe the next generation a lot better than what we're doing today.'
Iran is"continuing to do what they've done for nearly four decades now," former Defense Secretary James Mattis told ABC's"This Week," and the Trump administration needs to"build trust that we have a coherent strategy" on Iran following the country's alleged Sept. 14 attack on Saudi oil facilities.
Reiterating his calls for multilateralism, Mattis said on Sunday,"We need our allies, our partners and -- when you need them -- you have to build trust that we have a coherent strategy … this is a situation whose best possible outcome will come from a coalition of nations that want a stable the Middle East, and that has to be our goal to stabilize this situation as soon as possible."
NEW: Former Trump Defense Sec. Gen. James Mattis tells @MarthaRaddatz Iran is"continuing to do what they've done for nearly four decades now." The president's administration has blamed Iran for the attack on the Saudi oil installation, with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calling the raid an"act of war."
Speaking to CNN earlier this week, Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif denied that Iran was behind the Saudi attack, and said a retaliatory strike on Iran by the U.S. or Saudi Arabia would result in"all-out war." Promoting his new book"Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead," Mattis has been hesitant in critiquing his former boss, telling The Atlantic in September,"There is a period in which I owe my silence. It's not eternal. It's not going to be forever."
