The US ex-generals, diplomats warn Trump on Iran war
A group of ex-American political and military officials warned Trump on war against Iran.
MojNews-A group consisting of ex- American admirals, generals, ambassadors and senior government executives voiced deep concern Friday over the current escalation with Iran .
"A war with Iran , either by choice or miscalculation, would produce dramatic repercussions in an already destabilized Middle East ," said the group in a letter addressed to U.S. President Donald Trump .
Signed by ۷۶ people, the letter was published Friday by the War on the Rocks website.
It came hours before Trump۳۹;s announcement that ۱,۵۰۰ additional U.S. troops will be sent to the Middle East amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington.
A war would "drag the United States into another armed conflict at immense financial, human and geopolitical cost", the letter warned.
It said lack of direct communication between the two countries۳۹; political and military leaders only increases the possibility of a miscalculation resulting in unintended military conflict.
