Ex-UK commander warns Iran's strength is 'serially underestimated'

General Sir Richard Barrons, who headed the UK's Joint Forces Command between 2013 and 2016, said Iran's power may have been 'serially underestimated'. The former forces chief was responding to questions over whether Trump was right to say the UK had done 'too little and too late' or whether opponents of the war were correct that the UK had been sucked into an American war. He added: 'Both could be true. War generally does not follow a script and the enemy always gets a vote and, in this case, the enemy's vote, Iran, has been serially underestimated.'
