David Sacks, technology adviser to US President Donald Trump, described the recent memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran as an extraordinary success. Speaking on the 'All-In Podcast' on Saturday, he argued that diplomacy offers a more effective path than escalating military conflict. Sacks dismissed calls for a ground invasion of Iran as unrealistic, citing the country's vast geography and estimating that such an operation could require around one million troops.

He warned that any military campaign of this scale would amount to a suicidal mission and urged that the agreement be given a chance to succeed. Referring to exiled Iranian opposition leader Reza Pahlavi, Sacks questioned whether those advocating regime change in Iran were personally ready to take up arms. He added that if Pahlavi wished to form a force with his supporters in Beverly Hills, he could attempt it.

Sacks emphasized the importance of pursuing diplomatic solutions and cautioned against the United States becoming entangled in another prolonged and costly war like those in Iraq and Afghanistan.
