Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has publicly criticized the leadership of the ongoing war with Iran, stating it "did not have to be fought." He emphasized that the greatest duty of a president is to look into the eyes of parents of service members and make clear there is a purpose, clarity, and defined goals before sending them to war. This criticism follows his earlier remarks that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously presented a case for war to multiple U.S. administrations, all of which had rejected it.
