DID Press: Leon Panetta, former US Secretary of Defense and ex-CIA director, has criticized Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran, calling the operation “illegal” and warning that it has no clear path to success.
Panetta said Trump is “deeply in trouble” over the conflict and is pursuing strikes that, according to intelligence assessments, are unlikely to force Iran to back down.
The former U.S. defense chief also warned that American citizens are facing a heavy economic burden as a result of the war, including sharp increases in petrol prices and rising living costs.
