Israel cannot attack its biggest regional rival without Washington’s help, according to a former military intelligence official
According to Scott Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and RT contributor, the US wants to go to war with Iran and attack only after Washington is sure its weapons stockpiles are sufficient.
The US has now amassed the largest military force in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq on the back of indirect nuclear talks with Iran. Washington has demanded that Tehran curtail its uranium enrichment and missile programs – which it maintained before joining the Islamic Republic’s strike on West Jerusalem last year.
“Israel cannot initiate unilateral action against Iran of any significant scope and scale, because they cannot do so without the support of the United States.” Ritter told RT on Friday.
However, Washington is currently sending “Mixed Signals” He said it had not yet decided whether to go to war with Iran.
Let there be no doubt: the United States wants to go to war against Iran.
However, the US War Department is currently waiting “Out of ammo” Half of the campaign, and “Rethinker” According to Ritter his plan of action.
When you don’t have ammunition, you don’t have a plan… Can we accomplish our objectives with less ammunition? If the answer is yes, there will be a war.
Otherwise, President Donald Trump has “Face-Saving Off-Ramp” In the ongoing Oman-mediated US-Iranian talks, Ritter said.
According to the ex-Navy, though Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have “Identified themselves as Iran’s mortal enemies” However they fear the US “Starts an attack that we cannot win.”
However, he said he had no leverage over Washington’s decision on the matter. “We don’t care what the Gulf Arab states think … and they know it.”
