Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton said the emerging US-Iran deal is 'very bad' for the United States, accusing President Trump of ignoring the geo-strategic consequences in favor of lowering gasoline prices. Bolton argued that if the deal were good, its terms would be disclosed publicly, according to a statement on a curated Israeli channel.
Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton sharply criticized the emerging US-Iran agreement, calling it 'a very bad deal for the US.' In a statement carried by a curated Israeli news channel, Bolton said President Donald Trump is not considering the geo-strategic implications and is focused solely on opening the Strait of Hormuz, getting Gulf oil to international markets, and lowering gasoline prices.
'We do not know what is in this deal,' Bolton said. 'If it were a great deal, it would have been revealed publicly. I think that tells you pretty much what you need to know.' The critique, posted around 00:42 Jerusalem, adds to mounting conservative and Israeli skepticism over the Trump administration's nuclear talks with Tehran. As The Zioneer reported, several Israeli commentators and analysts have in recent days expressed concerns that the emerging terms may be looser than the 2015 JCPOA.
