Adm. James Stavridis: I Anticipated Iran Would Try to Create More Leverage During the 60-Day Ceasefire Window
EXCERPT:
BLITZER: “Some experts have suggested that skirmishes between the U.S. and Iran were to be expected, partly because the terms of that 14-point ceasefire deal were very vague, open to interpretation, and did not resolve the core issues. Do you agree with that view? Did you anticipate that the Iranians would try to create more leverage during the 60-day ceasefire window?"
STAVRIDIS: "I did. And I think most analysts who've been watching Iran would tell you two huge pieces of unfinished business, one is the enriched uranium, and the second one is what's occurring in Lebanon, just north of Israel, with Hezbollah. So until those two issues reach some kind of closure, some kind of specific agreement, look for this tit-for-tat kind of warfare to go on and on.”
