PNN – The former CENTCOM commander David Petraeus, while referring to the military power of the Islamic Republic of Iran, acknowledged that the United States is “in a difficult situation” vis-à-vis Iran.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, David Petraeus, former CIA director and former CENTCOM commander who commanded US military operations in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, stated on a radio show: I think we are in a difficult situation, and the Iranian authorities, of course, know that the President of the United States is facing midterm elections.
Petraeus, who recently traveled to West Asia, said Iran appears to think it has a better ability to withstand these conditions by continuing to present its positions in the negotiations.
He said: Iran thinks they have more flexibility than Washington, and time will tell whether that is true. But it is clear that they are not offering conditions that are at all acceptable.
This former American general had previously acknowledged that the Islamic Republic of Iran is very good at “postponing negotiations” and “having the final say.”
David Petraeus, while describing the current situation as a “strategic stalemate”, said: Further escalation of tensions by the United States will further damage critical infrastructure in the Gulf countries, which has already been damaged during the war.
Last year, while indirect talks with the American side were ongoing, the United States and the Zionist regime launched an aggression against Iran. In response to the aggression against the country’s territory and in self-defense, Iran carried out Operation True Promise 4, targeting American bases in the region and specific targets in the occupied territories.
