Video: Former Senior U.S. Officer: Iran Is the Regional King – Trump Will Retreat – Israel Is at Risk if War Erupts

According to Rokna, a U.S. military analyst highlighted Iran’s strategic capabilities and warned that Tehran is able to impose extensive damage on Israel and U.S. military installations across the region.

Media sources reported that Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector and officer, emphasized that Iran has become the dominant actor in the region and possesses the capacity to profoundly influence security and energy dynamics.

He stated that Iran, if it chooses, can disable a substantial portion of the region’s energy production capabilities. Tehran also has the capacity to deliver severe strikes to U.S. military bases, which Ritter warned could result in the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of American troops.

Ritter further cautioned about the consequences of any direct confrontation with Iran, noting that Tehran can deliver decisive blows to Israel – strikes that could undermine the regime’s survival capabilities and render parts of the occupied territories uninhabitable for millions.

These statements come as tensions in the Middle East remain high, with analysts warning about the potential escalation of conflicts in the region.
