John Kerry, former Secretary of State, disqualified the argument used by President Donald Trump to portray Iran as a threat to the rest of humanity considering that it was very close to enriching uranium to build nuclear weapons.

During an interview with the television channel MS NOWthe lawyer, former military man and diplomat, launched a reproach directed at the Republicans, but primarily at Donald Trump for having threatened to disappear a civilization, this as part of his war strategy to intimidate Iran.

“We are the place that, as you know, worked so hard to free Europe from fascism and to make so many other contributions around the world. And you dare to use that kind of language and say that an entire civilization is going to die.

That sounds to me like a prelude to becoming one of the biggest war criminals in history.

When you destroy a civilization, you are acting precisely against all international norms, standards, values, hopes and aspirations.“, he expressed.

The former Secretary of State then categorically denied that Iran was a threat to world security.

“There was simply no imminent threat. And even the administration spent months telling us that they had killed the entire program,” pointed out in reference to the US offensive implemented by the US armed forces on June 22 under the code name Operation Midnight Hammer.

However, The Republican who governs from Washington continues to be immersed in his opinion of annihilating the Islamic Republic in case of refusing to release the Strait of Hormuz to the navigation of ships transporting mostly oil and goods necessary, especially in Europe.

“We are loading the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever manufactured, even better than the ones we had before. If we do not reach an agreement, we will use them very effectively,” he recently stated in a dialogue with the newspaper Unique York Put up.

It should be noted that the war conflict initiated with the focus of stopping the alleged development of nuclear weapons has already produced an energy crisis that has made most products more expensive worldwide, in turn detonating an economic crisis of still unmeasurable dimensions among financial experts.

That is why American Democrats are looking for a way to reason with Donald Trump who, true to his personality, refuses to listen to them.
