‘Trump is in a state of utter confusion’ over the Strait of Hormuz, says former adviser

Former national security adviser to Donald Trump John Bolton has spoken to Sky News about Donald Trump’s chances of making a deal with Iran.

The US president has suggested a deal with Iran is imminent but is threatening retribution if it doesn’t happen.

But Bolton said: “I think we’re in a state of utter confusion now, at least Trump is in a state of utter confusion.”

He went on to say the “operation to open the Strait of Hormuz was an entirely sensible thing for him to do” but Bolton said “to stop now in search of a one page deal is a big mistake”.

  1. Bolton is just as delusional as Trump. The USA has an abysmal track record of regime change. The best they can hope for is causing societal collapse.

  2. Absolute nut job ! Many many sane analysts say “ overthrowing Middle East governments never ends up being good “ . Trump is solidifying Iranians , not breaking them .

  3. Bolton: "Regime change is possible without significant ground forces". Where have we heard that before?

    With all his experience, Bolton is still a hawk and in a world of asymmetric warfare in which large ponderous military forces can be defeated or neutralized by smaller, nimble forces he is playing with fire against Iran. Their leadership may be unpopular but the regime is still capable and knows how to use proxy forces and their own to inflict great damage to the Great Satan. The field of battle isn't just the Strait of Hormuz when proxies are invested. The world is the battle field. Ask Al-Queda.

  4. It is journalistic malpractice to platform John Bolton. He is a war criminal and a paid mouthpiece for the US military industrial complex and Israel.
