TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Al-Maalouma, Lebanese military expert Akram Seriwi said in a speech: Any direct military conflict between Iran and the US will end in the victory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He added: The Pentagon is aware of the risks associated with entering a war against Iran, both in terms of military losses and strategic consequences in the region, and for this reason, it has warned Trump about the consequences of this option.

Seriwi said: Military reports indicate Iran’s power to target and sink the USS Abraham Lincoln, especially since Tehran has a wide and diverse stock of missiles that can carry out devastating attacks.

He said: "This ship does not carry more than 200 missiles, but Iran can simultaneously launch hundreds of ballistic missiles, guided missiles, and carry out drone attacks. Iran's military doctrine is not based on direct classical conflicts, but on tiring the enemy and targeting its weaknesses, especially the US Navy, which is a strategic symbol for this country. A US military conflict with Iran will not be without costs, but rather is considered the beginning of a dangerous strategic transformation in the regional power equations that the US is trying to avoid."
