Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders came out swinging against Washington’s effort to pin blame on Iran for purported attacks on tanker ships in the Gulf of Oman, warning they are being used as a “pretext for war.”
The avowed democratic socialist took to Twitter on Friday to put the hawks on blast.
“The Gulf of Oman incident must not be used as a pretext for war with Iran,” Sanders said, adding that an attack on Iran would not only be illegal, but “an unmitigated disaster for the United States, Iran, the region, and the world.”
