John Bolton blasts US strategy in Iran war | DW News
Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton says the United States is “signalling weakness” to Iran, and that could shape the outcome of the war.
This interview explores the legal, strategic and geopolitical implications of the Iran war, including questions around international law, escalation risks, energy security, and the future of US foreign policy in the Middle East.
Bolton also argues:
– Claims the war against Iran is illegal are overstated
– Questions whether diplomacy led by JD Vance is the right approach
– Reopening the Strait of Hormuz may not restore shipping confidence
– Regime change should be the end goal
– Dismisses war crimes allegations against Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu
– Rejects claims of a nuclear double standard
