Attack on Iran 'horrible mistake' Press
TV Former US President has strongly criticized US new attitude towards Iran, calling any military attack a "horrible mistake and a tragedy". Jimmy Carter underlined that "What we should be doing is having full negotiations, consultations with Iranian leaders to make sure that they know we don't intend to attack them militarily." "I think it would be a mistake. It would precipitate another war for which we're not prepared, when we're already bogged down 100 percent, maximum capability in Iraq. Iran is a decidedly more formidable military challenge than Iraq ever was. And I don't think we are prepared to undertake that sort of challenge," he stressed.
"It's obvious to every reasonable person that the best approach to Iran is to use diplomacy. And my own preference is to have direct relationships with Iran and let them be reassured that they're not going to be attacked," Carter added. The Bush administration has unilaterally introduced an unprecedented package of sanctions against Iran's military which provoked widespread criticism around the world.
