Blinken: Military attacks will not solve Iran's nuclear issue.
Anthony Blinken, the former Secretary of State of the United States, described this country's war and its captivity against Iran as a "war of choice" and said that the continuation of the military operation cannot solve Iran's nuclear issue.
Mr. Blinken told the Hindustan Times Leadership meeting in New Delhi that the first administration of Donald Trump to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal in 2015 played a role in the formation of the current crisis.
He said: "It is very difficult to force the Iranian government to surrender; but it can be negotiated. These two issues are completely different."
The former US Secretary of State demanded to find a way out of the war and warned that the escalation of the conflicts could lead to further attacks on regional infrastructure, US bases and Washington's allied countries.
He also said that the Strait of Hormuz, which was not a problem for the global energy supply before the war, has now become one of the main challenges of the energy market.
