Former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka said he believes President Trump will unleash “holy hell” on Iran after the nation attacked an Iraq-U.S. coalition base in western Iraq. Gorka made the comments while speaking with Fox News host Lou Dobbs.
“This is a massive miscalculation by the Iranian regime and, paradoxically, we should embrace what they’ve decided to do because now they’ve done, in the open, what they have been doing against us and our friends for decades in the asymmetric warfare domain,” said Gorka.
Gorka, 49, resigned from the Trump administration in 2017 amid frustration with the president’s advisers. He told Dobbs there can be no doubt of the threat that Iran poses to U.S. national security.
“Now, there can be no question that Iran is a threat to American national security. You don’t have to be an expert in terrorism or irregular warfare to know that Iran is an imminent danger to our country, to our citizens, to our service members, and women,” Gorka said.

“They chose the wrong time with the wrong president. This president will unleash holy hell on that regime,” added Gorka.
