Unintended consequences of the Iran campaign have been mounting, the ex‑White House aide has told RT
US President Donald Trump’s war with Iran has been driven by a “council of one” style of decision-making and could have serious repercussions for the United States, his former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has warned.
The US-Israeli war against the Islamic Republic, now in its sixth week, has already inflicted widespread destruction across the region, with mass displacement and mounting economic strain. Civilian casualties continue to rise both in Iran and across the region as strikes intensify. Trump has claimed Washington is “in deep negotiations” with Tehran, while warning he will “blow up everything” if no deal is reached. Iran has denied any talks and dismissed claims it is seeking a ceasefire.
Speaking to RT’s Going Underground over the weekend, Scaramucci said he opposed the conflict from the outset, adding “lots of our Gulf allies would have probably agreed with that.”
“One thing that’s going on that somebody like me wouldn’t like is that the decision-making is being made by a council of one,” he said, arguing that US presidents historically operated with broader consultation. Trump is surrounded by “a team of… yes-men,” Scaramucci claimed, contrasting this with earlier administrations.
Scaramucci said he does not believe Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “pulling Trump around by the nose” and argued that Trump made the decision on the Iran war himself.
