Former US national security adviser and ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, has issued a warning to Israel, emphasizing the importance of taking action in response to potential threats. Bolton expressed concerns about the possibility of further attacks and stressed the need for Israel to assert its power rather than engage in passive strategies.
Bolton, known for his hawkish stance on Iran, has a history of advocating for strong measures against the country. He has previously served in key national security roles during the administrations of both President Trump and President Bush. Bolton's views on foreign policy have often leaned towards a more aggressive approach, including advocating for military action against Iran and North Korea.
In 2022, Bolton was reportedly the target of an assassination attempt believed to be orchestrated by a member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This incident further underscores the tensions between Bolton and Iran, particularly regarding the issue of nuclear capabilities.
Bolton has repeatedly cautioned against underestimating Iran's nuclear program, despite Tehran's claims that it is intended for peaceful purposes. He has raised concerns about the potential collaboration between Iran and North Korea in the development of nuclear weapons, highlighting the need to address these threats proactively.
According to Bolton, disrupting Iran's nuclear capabilities could have significant implications for the regime, potentially leading to its downfall. He emphasized the importance of not relying solely on intelligence assessments and urged for decisive actions to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
