Iran Press/America: Gabbard believes that war with Iran would be 'far more devastating' to the U.S. than the war in Iraq was, saying in an interview with CBS News that Trump was "pushing us closer and closer to war with Iran by ripping up Iran’s Nuclear Pact” known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
"Deploying U.S. troops to the region, they basically set the dynamite fuse and lit it, for another war that will be far more devastating [than what] we saw throughout Iraq, the war that I served in," said Gabbard, who was in Iraq as a member of the Hawaii National Guard.
Recently, Pentagon announced it will send 1,000 more troops to Mideast, asserting that the deployment had 'defensive purposes.'
After withdrawal from the JCPOA, Trump decided to use a B-Team which compromises the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the US National Security Adviser John Bolton, the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed, and the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, to increase pressure on Iran.
In April, before the oil tankers' incident in the Persian Gulf, the Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif warned of the possibility that the B-Team could try “to plot an accident” that could trigger a broader crisis.
