Russia, China and Iran actions could inadvertently lead to war, says UK Defence Chief

“Our competitors have become masters at exploiting the seams between peace and war,” the General wrote in The Sunday Telegraph.

The actions of Russia, China and Iran could “easily lead to inadvertent miscalculation” and increase the chance of war, the Chief of Defence Staff Nick Carter has said.

Mr Carter wrote in a Remembrance Day newspaper column that the threats to peace were growing due to the ambitions of certain states and the actions of groups including the so-called Islamic State.
