Former US secretary of state John Kerry has warned that President Donald Trump’s handling of the war with Iran could trigger wider global and economic consequences, while questioning the fragile ceasefire in place, Anadolu reports.

Kerry, also a former senator who helped negotiate the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, questioned the current two-week ceasefire, calling it “remarkably loosey-goosey,” in an interview on GBH’s ‘Boston Public Radio’.
