Former US government adviser Paul Larudee says Trump's repeated threats of aggression against Iran amount to a show of force, warning that another attack would bring no gains for Washington.
“There's no benefit for him personally. There's no benefit for him politically. There's no benefit for the United States,” he told Press TV in a Sunday interview.
Larudee warns that any renewed US aggression would face a stronger Iranian response, making confrontation increasingly costly for Washington.
He says Iran is prepared to ensure that any new attack would have far worse consequences for the United States.
The commentator also argues that Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are driven by ambitions of personal legacy and territorial expansion, with Trump seeking global dominance and Netanyahu pursuing the Zionist agenda by drawing Washington into another military incursion against Tehran.
The former US adviser, however, questions Trump's willingness to pursue another military escalation against Iran.
