Ex-Pentagon official says US attack on Iran’s Bandar Abbas ‘something to watch’

Adam Clements, a former US diplomat and Pentagon official, has told Al Jazeera that he is not “necessarily surprised” by the US acknowledging that its military had struck southern Iran earlier.

“I don’t think that what’s happened in the Straits of Hormuz at Bandar Abbas is inconsequential – certainly something to watch if this leads to other strikes – but I think here’s where we need to separate operational tactical matters from the strategic.”

Overall, Clements said he thinks formal diplomatic negotiations between the US and Iran are still moving, and the strikes will not derail the overall process.

“It’s not a perfect direction of what some people might want, but it’s a better direction than renewed conflict at this point,” he said.
