JAKARTA - Former US ambassador to the United Nations (UN), John Bolton, urged US President Trump to explain why the US-Israeli war on Iran is in the interests of the US people.
"I think the reason is clear and can be explained very effectively, but it hasn't happened and if this communication problem is not fixed, Trump will face serious political problems," said Bolton, who supported the US-Israeli attack on Iran, quoted by Al Jazeera, Tuesday, March 3.
Bolton, who is also a former security adviser to President Trump, added that Israel and the US have the same goal of forcing change in Iran, with Washington leading in its combat capacity and intelligence support, while Israel provides the strategic thinking behind the operation.
"The logic behind this is to eliminate Iran's nuclear program, to eliminate Iran's support for terrorism - you have to eliminate the ruling system," Bolton claimed.
"If you don't do that, if you just hurt it and reduce its capacity - it will grow back and in some time we will be back to where we were before this attack started," he continued.
