Blinken: Total destruction of Iran's weapons requires a ground attack; An action that would be disastrous.
The former US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, referring to Iran's geographical size, population and military capabilities, emphasized that the complete destruction of the country's weapons through military strikes is not possible, and achieving such a goal would probably require a ground attack.
Blinken stated that Iran is four times the size of the state of California and three times the size of Iraq, and its population reaches 90 million people.
He also pointed to the extent of Iran's coastline along the Strait of Hormuz and emphasized the difficulty of military operations against this country.
The former US Secretary of State added that Iran continues to produce weapons and the locations of these weapons are far enough away that they cannot be destroyed by military attacks.
Blinken warned that the complete destruction of these capabilities would likely require some sort of ground attack on Iran; An action that he says would be a "full-scale disaster"./Jamran.
