Former US Defense Secretary Warns Iran War Could Last 6 More Months

Former US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has predicted that the war involving Iran could continue for another six months, according to the British daily The Guardian.

Panetta, who served as defense secretary during the Obama administration, stated, "The United States and Iran are locked in a terrible stalemate, and I believe this war is likely to persist unresolved for at least another six months."

He added that the current conflict is following a trajectory toward becoming another failed Middle Eastern war like those in Iraq or Afghanistan, raising the risk of it becoming an "endless war."
