The current crisis in the US armed forces is the direct result of strategic miscalculations by American officials who underestimated Iran’s capacity for resistance, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali tells Sputnik.
“They say the condition of the infrastructure, food, logistical support and the morale of American troops is so deplorable that, in addition to suicides, a number of people have died in mass clashes,” notes the Iranian diplomat.
He adds that while this is not confirmed by the Pentagon or US officials, “there can be no doubt about the poor state of the equipment and personnel.”
Earlier, US media reports indicated that amid a deployment stretched by the failed war on Iran, multiple sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln tried to jump overboard.
The carrier had come under scrutiny over poor conditions, supply challenges, declining morale, and rotten food.
