India’s former foreign secretary, Shyam Saran, says that the present West Asia war will be remembered as Trump’s big mistake. He called it “a grave grave miscalculation”. He called it “a grievous blow to the United States and it will take a long time for the United States to recover from this.”

In the interview, Saran says that he would not preclude the possibility that Trump might seek to bomb Iran back to the stone age. He made this point two-three times. “It is within the capacity of the United States really to bomb Iran back to the stone age. That capability does exist … I cannot see any good outcomes coming out of this … I would not preclude that possibility because the manner in which the United States has been behaving under Mr. Trump seems to be actually rejecting any humanitarian constraint, rejecting any kind of international law governing this conflict which is taking place. Essentially, they have been saying we don’t observe any rules at all. So if you are not ready to observe any rules at all and you have this kind of a macho kind of approach that we can completely destroy you and annihilate you, if that is the frame of mind in which you are looking at this who knows this could actually be the outcome.”
