Is the US repeating the mistakes of the Vietnam War in attacking Iran? - Former Major General Goro Matsumura
Former Major General Goro Matsumura critiques the US strategy in the recent military attack on Iran, suggesting it lacks clear objectives and could lead to broader conflict.
Former Major General Goro Matsumura, who previously led the Northeast Army of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, expresses deep concern over the recent military actions by the US and Israel against Iran, including the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. According to Matsumura, the key issue lies in the lack of clear goals set out by President Trump regarding the military operations. He notes that Trump's statements about the military objectives—ranging from the complete annihilation of Iran's missile capabilities to a regime change—are vague and show a troubling absence of strategic clarity. This ambiguity raises fears about the potential for prolonged military engagement without defined outcomes.
