Zurich: A Democratic US senator has criticized the recent US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, calling it 'an illegal war' that left Washington in a worse position than before.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, in a message posted on X on Friday, Senator Chris Van Hollen said, 'The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder and we are worse off than before it started.' He further expressed his disapproval of the ongoing support for a confrontational approach toward Iran, stating, 'There's no good way out of a bad war.'

Addressing US warmongering officials and politicians, Van Hollen concluded with a warning: 'When you're in a hole, stop digging.' His remarks came just days after Iran and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding to end the US-Israeli-imposed war against the Islamic Republic.

President Masoud Pezeshkian and his American counterpart, Donald Trump, signed the agreement digitally and remotely on Wednesday, marking a significant move towards resolving the conflict.
