Ex-Obama advisor warns Iran military strikes 'might' lead to civilian massacres, overlooking protester deaths

Former national security advisor Ben Rhodes said President Donald Trump's military strikes against Iran "may" get civilians killed, appearing to overlook the deaths of Iranian protesters.

Rhodes, who previously worked under the Obama administration, wrote in a New York Times essay on Monday that Trump "may come to regret" his strikes against Iran over the weekend, warning that Iranian citizens "may" be killed as a result.

"Mr. Trump’s only stated plan for regime change was a call for the Iranian people to rise up," Rhodes wrote.
