DONALD TRUMP’S military errors may spark the next world war conflict as his stringent sanctions on Iran could result in a dangerous backlash.

Tensions between the US and Iran have remained high for years and the killing of general Qassem Soleimani raised fears of World War 3 in early 2020. Iranian expert of Iran International TV Dr Pupak Mohebali warned Iran’s stockpiling of nuclear-rich Uranium and ignoring the rules of the 2015 nuclear agreement may be a response to Donald Trump’s recent military and political actions. During an interview with Express.co.uk, Dr Mohebali claimed Iran stockpiling Uranium could be linked to the US leaving the nuclear agreement in 2018 and the killing of Qassem Soleimani.
Despite the nuclear war fears, she noted it was unlikely Iran was currently stockpiling in a race to create nuclear weapons, at the moment.
Dr Mohebali said: “In the past few months the Iranian Government announced that they would no longer abide by most of the restrictions under the Iranian agreement.
“That was the agreement set in place by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iranian nuclear deal.
“Iran’s announcement was widely seen as a reaction to the US assassination of Qassem Soleimani.
“However, some experts also believe it is partly a reaction to Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal in 2018.
“So you may ask does this mean that Iran is now racing to develop nuclear weapons?
“But I would say probably not, at least not at the moment.
“This is because you can see that Iran has not withdrawn from the 2015 nuclear deal altogether.

Trump outlines US response to Iran’s airstrikes
“They just no longer recognise some restrictions on the stockpiling on nuclear-rich Uranium.”
Earlier in the interview, Dr Mohebali warned one wrong move from either the US or Iran could result in a major conflict.
She claimed if Iran continued to disobey or withdraw from nuclear treaties it could result in stronger sanctions from the US and potentially military intervention.

She said: “I would not say there is one worst-case scenario but more like a domino effect.
“One problematic decision leads to another and another.
“If Iran was to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) it could bring further diplomatic isolation.
“It might even lead to more international sanctions on the country or cause the US military to start on Iran.
