Γκαλιμπάφ προς ΗΠΑ: Ένας πόλεμος με το Ιράν θα έχει 10 οδυνηρές συνέπειες για την αμερικανική κοινωνία
Ο πρόεδρος του Ιρανικού Κοινοβουλίου, Μοχαμάντ Μπαγκέρ Γκαλιμπάφ, προειδοποίησε τους Αμερικανούς αξιωματούχους και τον αμερικανικό λαό για τις συνέπειες μιας ενδεχόμενης σύγκρουσης με το Ιράν, τονίζοντας ότι η επιλογή του πολέμου δεν θα αποφέρει κανένα όφελος, αλλά αντίθετα θα οδηγήσει σε «σκοτεινά και οδυνηρά αποτελέσματα». Σε ανάρτησή του στην πλατφόρμα «X», ο Γκαλιμπάφ δήλωσε ότι όσοι πιστεύουν πως ένας πόλεμος με το Ιράν θα ωφελήσει τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες κάνουν λάθος, υποστηρίζοντας ότι μια τέτοια σύγκρουση θα προκαλέσει τουλάχιστον δέκα σοβαρές συνέπειες, μεταξύ των οποίων: κατάρρευση των χρηματιστηρίων απώλεια μαχητικών αεροσκαφών διόγκωση του δημόσιου χρέους αύξηση του πληθωρισμού μεγάλες απώλειες Αμερικανών στρατιωτών Παράλληλα, υπογράμμισε ότι όλες οι συνέπειες ενός πολέμου κατά του Ιράν θα είναι αρνητικές για την αμερικανική κοινωνία, τονίζοντας ότι οι ΗΠΑ δεν είναι υποχρεωμένες να ακολουθήσουν τον δρόμο της σύγκρουσης, αλλά εάν το πράξουν, θα πρέπει να αναλάβουν πλήρως το κόστος και τις επιπτώσεις αυτής της επιλογής. www.ertnews.gr
