Former US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday warned of a war with Iran after the United States pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal between the Islamic Republic and world powers, AFP reported.
Kerry spearheaded the diplomacy that led to the 2015 agreement in which Iran promised Western powers, Russia and China to scale back its nuclear program drastically in return for sanctions relief.
In May, US President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement, which he has slammed as “the worst deal ever negotiated”.
Trump later signed an executive order officially reinstating US sanctions against Iran. Additional US sanctions targeting Iran's oil and shipping industries will go into effect on November 4.
By pulling out of the accord, Trump has "made it more likely that there will be conflict in the region because there are people there who would love to have the United States of America bomb Iran," Kerry waned during a conversation at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Kerry said that Saudi Arabia's late king Abdullah and Egypt's ousted president Hosni Mubarak had both told him that the United States should attack Iran, even while they would not take the position publicly.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, an outspoken critic of the Iran deal, had also asked then US President Barack Obama for the green light to bomb Iran, Kerry claimed.
"What Trump has done is now empower the guys in Iran who said don't deal with the United States, they'll burn you," he warned.
"He has made it more likely that if there is an implosion in Iran internally through pressure or otherwise, it will not be an unknown Jeffersonian democrat who is going to appear and take over, it will be the IRGC or another Ahmadinejad, and we will be worse off..." .....

funding and enabling a sworn enemy of America, especially one that keeps threatening to destroy us....
congrats! you helped create the nuclear holocaust you’re now so presciently predicting
GTH, JFKerry! GTH!
Kerry shouts his delusions yet again.
I hope kerry is right. If a war started I look for Iranians to overthrow their government.
Think he's got a long face NOW....
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
If we are to have war let it be against traitors.

Traitor Kerry should go straight to Hell.
Concur.
“What do you mean we can’t have underage sex on your sailboats? UULLUULLUULLUULLUULL,,,,
It’s war!
If John Kerry is afraid there’s going to be a war, I can rest easy. He’s always, always wrong.
“He and Obama gave Iran $150 billion... that buys a lot of military stuff... like nukes.”
I still marvel at the chutzpah of sending billions of dollars in taxpayer’s cash, on pallets, in unmarked planes, in the dead of the night, to the terrorist mullahs in Iran.
How was no one hanged over that?
There’s always CNN.
Wow, that’s shocking news!!! As if Iran hasn’t been on our radar forever.
Scare you Mr. Phony Purple Heart???
What a lying POS
Which side does he plan to support?
