OREANDA-NEWS American leader Donald Trump made a mistake by launching an operation against Iran, but he will never admit it, so the situation for the United States will only worsen. Scott Ritter, a former American intelligence officer, spoke with this point of view on the YouTube channel Dialogue Works.

"Neither Israel nor the United States will be able to continue doing what they did before. <...> The United States is already broken. They don't have a solution. There is no solution on the Strait of Hormuz," the analyst said, adding that the Iranians now hold all the cards. Ritter also stressed that Washington's actions in the Middle East are dictated solely by political motives, not military considerations.

In addition, the expert believes, if the United States decides to conduct a raid in Iran, all its participants will probably die, because the ground operation will be carried out without careful planning.

Earlier, former NATO adviser Jacques Bo predicted the failure of any US ground operation in Iran.
