Former US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday warned of a war with Iran after the United States pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal between the Islamic Republic and world powers, AFP reported.
Kerry spearheaded the diplomacy that led to the 2015 agreement in which Iran promised Western powers, Russia and China to scale back its nuclear program drastically in return for sanctions relief.
In May, US President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement, which he has slammed as the worst deal ever negotiated.
Trump later signed an executive order officially reinstating US sanctions against Iran. Additional US sanctions targeting Iran's oil and shipping industries will go into effect on November 4.
By pulling out of the accord, Trump has "made it more likely that there will be conflict in the region because there are people there who would love to have the United States of America bomb Iran," Kerry waned during a conversation at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Kerry said that Saudi Arabia's late king Abdullah and Egypt's ousted president Hosni Mubarak had both told him that the United States should attack Iran, even while they would not take the position publicly.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, an outspoken critic of the Iran deal, had also asked then US President Barack Obama for the green light to bomb Iran, Kerry claimed.
"What Trump has done is now empower the guys in Iran who said don't deal with the United States, they'll burn you," he warned.
"He has made it more likely that if there is an implosion in Iran internally through pressure or otherwise, it will not be an unknown Jeffersonian democrat who is going to appear and take over, it will be the IRGC or another Ahmadinejad, and we will be worse off..." .....

“Do you know who I am?”
“Kerry, youre NOTHING anymore, youre not SOS, youre not a Senator, just a has-been, half-assed civilian.”
Another Munsters revival? Which one is Grandpa?
That War would be shorter than Kerry’s trip to Cambodia.
Some reporter should ask him how many pallets of cash it would take to buy Iran off this time.
War is expensive. Where will the Iranians get the cash now that we are not flying in pallets of paper dollars?
If there is a war, the genesis of it will be at the feet of Kerry and Obama. And, if it happens, which I don’t think it will, it will be over quickly.
Tanks: 8800 to 2500
Carriers: 20 to 0
Destroyers: 85 to 0
Aircraft: 12,000 to 850
Budget: $554bn to $14bn...
Won't be a long fight
Remember the 6 Day War? This will be the 6 minute war, bring it on morons. No embassy hostages to grab and humiliate a feckless cinc, Iran would be cut off at the knees and quick. First we would sink everyone of their toy boats and planes, while sending their infrastructure to the 13th century the mullahs admire so much. Lights out!
Yes.
So, where in Iran will Kerry be buried when he dies fighting for the Ayatoilet?
1 EMP, however, will eliminate a lot of that.
Is that what he’s been working behind the scenes to accomplish?
If so, I’m not too worried. The incompetent SOB hasn’t ever been successful at anything
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. He was successful at getting three ginned-up purple hearts and thereby getting out of combat duty after just three months and change in country. He was successful at becoming a ketchup gigolo and getting elected to the Senate. He was successful at selling out the country to Iran. He might be successful at starting WW III, and the leftards will blame it on Trump, not his interloping.
Hello horse face, ketchup boy! Do you work for the US Government?
Prepare
Daughter married to an Iranian with close ties to regime. How much of that loot did you sack away Frankenstein?
He and Obama funded Iran to make their continued belligerence possible....nuance that, John-boy.
Better to take them out now, them attacking us would be a blessing rather than wait for the threat to get bigger
