Robert Malley, former U.S. State Department official, in his latest remarks about the tensions between Iran and the United States, referred to the repeated miscalculations of the Donald Trump administration regarding Iran. He stated that Iran is seriously prepared to resist any aggression, considering this a determining factor in any potential war.
Iran's Readiness for Resistance
Malley pointed out in an interview that the country is ready to resist against any new military operations by the U.S. and the Israeli regime for a long time. He added: "Do not forget that Iran has seriously thought about this and has planned accordingly. They know very well what to do and how to respond in the event of any conflict."

Trump Administration's Lack of Guarantees
This former official also noted that the Trump administration cannot guarantee that new military operations against Iran will be short-term. He pointed out that conflicts may last for years and have uncertain consequences. This situation will affect not only regional security but also global security.
Malley also referred to past experiences and said: "History has shown that any military operation carried out without considering its human and political dimensions will lead to disastrous results. Therefore, more attention must be paid to the consequences of such actions." He emphasized that decision-makers in the United States need to pay more attention to history and past experiences to avoid repeating past mistakes.
Challenges Ahead
Given the current situation, Malley stressed the necessity of diplomacy and constructive dialogue. He believes that only through dialogue and diplomacy can sustainable solutions be achieved and further conflicts prevented. This becomes even more important in a situation where tensions between the two countries are escalating.
Ultimately, Robert Malley emphasized that preventing war and striving for stability in the region requires international cooperation and a deeper understanding of the needs of the countries in the region. He noted that only with a comprehensive and human-centered approach can new crises be prevented.
