U.S. Pushing Middle Eastern Countries toward Direct War with Iran

The U.S. is attempting to persuade Middle Eastern leaders to wage direct war against Iran, TASS reports, citing an Iranian source.

"Expansion of Iranian operations in the region and the reduction of U.S. defense capabilities under the auspices of CENTCOM have ushered in a new phase of psychological operations," the source said. "This command has come under heavy criticism following the downing of several American fighter jets, the attack on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, and the expansion of Iranian operations. At this stage, CENTCOM's mission is to persuade the leaders of these countries to launch a direct war against Iran."
