Ex-security minister says assassination ordered by Trump caused chain of events that led to revolution in Syria
Donald Trump’s decision to sanction the assassination of an elite Iranian commander triggered a chain of events that has revealed the country as a paper tiger and led to the overthrow of Basher al-Assad, the former UK security minister has said.
Tom Tugendhat, now on the Conservative backbenches and intending to focus on foreign policy, also predicts the Iranian regime will collapse in a few years. He said that, if handled properly, Syria could become the economic powerhouse of the Middle East within a decade.
