Retired U.S. Ambassador John Limbert warned that President Trump had 'no plan' and this could lead to a 'disaster.'
The former diplomat highlighted that the U.S. had long supported Iran's enemies in the Middle East, pointing to its backing of the Saddam Hussein regime in the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. . Limbert pointed out that many Iranians viewed Soleimani as"patriotic" because he had fought against Iraq in the conflict decades before.
The retired civil servant noted that after decades of tensions, the U.S. and Iran"finally had a way to talk to each other" under Obama."We talk to many countries with which we are not friends," he asserted."Now that has disappeared," Limbert added, warning that the lack of communication could"lead us into another disaster in the Middle East."
