Former U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton Supports Israeli Retaliation Against Iran
Former U.S. national-security adviser John Bolton has expressed his support for Israel’s right to retaliate against Iran for its recent attack. Bolton believes that Israel is entitled to respond, even if it means destroying Iran’s nuclear weapons program. He also stands by his criticism of President Joe Biden, whom he called “an embarrassment” for urging Israel to exercise caution in its response.
In an interview with Current Time, Bolton emphasized that if the United States faced a similar attack from Iran, it would most likely retaliate by targeting the bases and facilities responsible for launching the attacks. He argued that Israel should have the same rights to defend itself and respond accordingly.
The recent attack by Iran on Israel, which involved ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, has raised concerns about escalating tensions in the region. The attack was allegedly in response to a suspected Israeli air strike on the Iranian Embassy compound in Damascus, Syria, which resulted in casualties.
While President Biden has urged Israel to avoid actions that could lead to a wider war in the Middle East, Bolton believes that Israel’s concerns about potential nuclear warheads being included in future attacks justify a strong response. He suggested that destroying Iran’s nuclear weapons program could be in Israel’s long-term interests.
The possibility of a full-scale war breaking out in the Middle East is a major concern, as warned by experts like Michael Horowitz, head of intelligence at Le Beck International. Horowitz highlighted the risks involved in a potential Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, stating that it could trigger a series of retaliatory measures across the region.
Bolton, known for his advocacy of strong measures against Iran and North Korea’s nuclear programs, criticized the Biden administration for its handling of the situation in the Middle East. He pointed out that various terrorist groups in the region are supported by Iran, making it a key player in the ongoing conflicts.
As Israel contemplates its response to the recent attack, Bolton emphasized the importance of considering the long-term implications of the actions taken. He expressed confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s understanding of the Iran nuclear threat and predicted a measured response from Israel in the coming days.
Despite facing criticism during his time as a national security adviser under President Trump, Bolton continues to voice his opinions on international security issues and advocate for a strong stance against threats in the region.
