Majid Takht Ravanchi, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, warned the U.S. against repeating the mistakes of the Iraq War.
The U.S. is drifting toward conflict with Iran on the basis of false intelligence, just as it did in the lead up to the calamitous Iraq War, the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations warned.
National Security Adviser John Bolton announced the deployment on Sunday, citing “troubling and escalatory indications and warnings” from Iran. Ravanchi dismissed Bolton’s statement, which was described by a spokesperson for Iran’s Supreme National Security Council as “clumsy” psychological warfare earlier this week.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump repeated Bolton’s warning, suggesting he had information that Tehran was “threatening” the U.S. He also provided no additional details. “We have information that you don't want to know about,” the president said, adding “we don't want to have to do anything.”
