'War with Iran is playing with fire, and it will burn all, and not just Iran,' said Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi.
Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi dismissed the possibility of war with the U.S. but touted the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic in an interview aired on May 5.
A handout photo made available by the Iranian navy office on February 23 shows an Iranian navy missile launch during a drill in the Gulf of Oman. -/AFP/Getty Images While analysts pointed out that the carrier's deployment was actually routine, Bolton’s tone in announcing the maneuver signaled the Trump administration’s desire to present a strong front toward Iran.
“The Iranians have become increasingly aggressive and at least verbally threatening action. For example, there is evidence that the rockets fired by Hamas [at Israel] were Iranian. There is tension rising in Lebanon,” Friedman said. “So while this can be looked at as an attempt to reduce tensions by creating a counter to Iran, this is not the United States suddenly introducing a new variable into the region.
Friedman also said he didn’t believe Boroujerdi’s assertion that Iran could sink the carrier was accurate due to several difficulties. “First it will be far off shore and not visible. Targeting the carrier will require knowledge of its locations,” he said.
