Josep Borrell, former high representative for the European Union, gave his estimates this Monday of how long the conflict that began with and to which Hezbollah has joined in recent hours could last.
In an interview on Espejo Público, on Antena 3, he predicted that the confrontation will not last more than seven days because “he does not have much capacity to respond,” as Europa Press has reported. Borrell added that nuclear capacity “is nonexistent.”
The former Foreign Minister in Spain has explained that, in his opinion, the conflict will drag on, but has denied that he can confront the Israeli and North American power. “Nobody can think that it will last a week“, he declared.
Borrell has also estimated that Iran has about two or three thousand long-range missiles, “very few,” he considered, in a war like this because “they run out very quickly.”
He has also highlighted that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, is the only one who does not “dance the water” to Trumphaving positioned itself alongside “international legality, not the law of the strongest.” Meanwhile, other European countries such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom have expressed that they are willing to attack Iran to defend their interests.
If international law does not have its importance, “we already forget and say that we live in the jungle,” he warned.
According to Borrell, “it is one thing to criticize and condemn the Iranian regime and another thing to applaud an action that has been done manifestlywithout authorization from the United Nations and not even from the American Congress itself“.
He has described the reason alleged this Saturday by US President Donald Trump for attacking Iran as a “joke”; that is, prevent nuclear rearmament.
