A US politician has admitted that President Donald Trump is “on the brink of war” with Iran – just a day after the US leader agreed to send 1,500 troops to protect against the Islamic Republic.

The US is “on the brink of war” with Iran, according to a shock admission from a leading American politician. The latest escalation in the threat of military conflict  comes just a day after US President Donald Trump approved the Pentagon’s plan to send 1,500 troops to the Middle East. This comes amid rising tensions  between the US and Iran, as American security officials look to counter the ”ongoing threat posed by Iranian forces”.

As part of the deployment, fighter jets, drones and other weaponry will be sent to Saudi Arabia, UAE and Jordan.

‘We are on the BRINK OF WAR with Iran’ SHOCK admission from US official sparks WW3 PANIC

The Pentagon confirmed that the deployment was in response to “an attack” on four oil tankers in the UAE and two oil pumping stations in Saudi Arabia.

Security officials blamed this “sabotage” on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the US has recently designated a foreign terrorist organisation.

Iran denied it was behind the incidents but Rear Admiral Michael Gilday, director of the US Joint Staff, accused the IRGC of being directly responsible.

We are unfortunately on the brink of war with Iran

In response, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called the decision “very dangerous”.

General Morteza Qorbani, an adviser to Iran’s military command, also reacted by pointing to his country’s “secret weapons”.

He said: “If they commit the slightest stupidity, we will send these ships to the bottom of the sea along with their crew and planes using two missiles or two new secret weapons.”

Following this latest escalation, Tulsi Gabbard, who is running as a Democratic presidential candidate, told Fox News: “We are unfortunately on the brink of war with Iran.

“The escalating tensions with Iran has brought us here. The American people need to understand how devastating and costly such a war would be, how it would impact almost every part of our lives.

“It would take a terrible human toll: the cost of countless American service members’ lives: my brothers and sisters in uniform, the cost to civilians in the region.”

However, the troop deployment is far less than the 10,000 forces that United States commanders  in the region had initially sought.

Under plans draw up by White House advisor John Bolton, the US would send up to 120,000 troops to the Middle East if Iran sped up its work on nuclear weapons.

RUSSIA WARNING: Putin could INTERVENE if US and Iran go to war

INCREASED tensions between Iran and the US could force Russia to intervene if full scale military conflict arises.

The relationship between Washington and Tehran continues to be strained amid plans to deploy 1,500 US troops to the Middle East. US national security adviser John Bolton warned the US had “deep and serious” intelligence on threats posed by Iran. The prospect of warfare in the troubled region has prompted fears Moscow will be dragged into battle if its Iranian allies come under threat.

The Moscow Times reports the fall of the Islamic Republic could “undermine” Russia’s ability to be neutral in the middle east and move towards protecting its interests “including militarily assisting Iran”.

It said: “Russia may provide Iran with operational intelligence prior to or during the break-out of the war with the US.”

The Moscow Times added: “Russia may reserve the option to improve Iran’s defensive capabilities via the supply of more advanced units, should such a necessity arise. “

However it is “highly improbable” that Moscow be directly involved in any potential conflict but “may take certain cautious steps in order to strengthen Iran’s deterrence capacities”.

The relationship between the US and Iran has been strained for over a year, following US President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

The treaty aimed to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions in return for relief from sanctions.

The US has since imposed new sanctions on Iran aimed at impacting its economy by cutting off oil exports, which has forced Iran to suspend its commitments to the agreement.

However the US President appeared to soften his tone toward Iran, saying he believed it wanted to make a deal.

Mr Trump said: “We aren’t looking for regime change – I just want to make that clear. We are looking for no nuclear weapons.’’

But Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman played down the prospect of reaching a deal with the US.

He said: ”We currently see no prospect of negotiations with America.“

Meanwhile Iranian Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri said the country was not allowed to pursue the development of nuclear weapon as this was banned by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Tensions rose between Iran and the US after an attack earlier this month on oil tankers in the Gulf.

Washington, a close ally of Iran’s regional rival Saudi Arabia, blamed the attacks on Tehran, which denied the accusations.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED FOR WHAT IS COMING?  

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

 Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

 You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

 Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you. —-
