The US is now in a “forever war” with Iran after Donald Trump refused to listen to any regional experts, according to Anthony Scaramucci.
The former White House press secretary told HuffPost UK the US president believed he was the “smartest person in the room” and so ignored any warnings about the consequences of attacking Iran.
Trump stunned the world when he and Israel agreed to launch strikes on Tehran back in February, killing Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran retaliated by effectively closing the major shipping lane, the Strait of Hormuz, which transported a fifth of the world’s oil and gas supplies.
More than seven months later, the waterway is still largely obstructed and global fuel prices have risen as a result, making the cost of living go up everywhere.
