Leading Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden has criticised President Donald Trump’s strategy on Iran, saying his decision to pull out of the historic nuclear accord with the Islamic Republic had made conflict more likely.
“President Trump’s Iran strategy is a self-inflicted disaster”, Biden said in a statement. “By walking away from diplomacy, Trump has made military conflict more likely. Another war in the Middle East is the last thing we need. Trump promised that abandoning the deal and imposing sanctions would stop Iran’s aggression in the region. But they’ve only gotten more aggressive”.
