Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said Israel should “destroy” Iran’s nuclear weapons program during a Wednesday appearance on NewsNation.

Iran launched nearly 200 missiles into Israel on Tuesday in response to a series of targeted killings carried out by Israel that have left several leaders of militia groups alligned with Tehran dead.

Israel is widely expected to launch strikes on Iran in response to the Tuesday attack. Bolton, a hawk who served as former President Trump’s national security adviser before breaking with him, argued for an aggressive approach.

“Israel should destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program. There are plenty of other things they could destroy as well, oil loading facilities, Revolutionary Guard bases and headquarters, ballistic missile assets,” said Bolton.

He noted that Israel has twice now faced missile strikes from Iran, in April in addition to Tuesday.

But he never submitted to having his moustache searched for bluetooth transmitters and microchips containing secrets.

They need to make sure that Iran can’t nuke them... And there is only one way to do it... Take out their nuclear facilities... Then take out their oil facilities to cut off their revenue stream. Take out their leadership too... That would also be useful.

Recent Politico:
Trump’s response to Bolton: “No, you’re the threat.”
...an attempt to counteract Bolton’s thesis as he promotes his book: Trump poses a threat to the country.

Bolton has always been a threat.

John Bolton - if this evil warhawk says the ‘time is now to do something’, then it most certainly is NOT the time.

I’ve seen less reactionary three-year olds than this man.

And what does John Bolton think the Iranian response will be?

They should, but that would be a lot harder than blowing up Kharg Island, which would break Iran financially.

On the other hand, Biden said they should not attack the nuclear facilities.

And Biden is always wrong.

It’s like a logic puzzle.

Does anyone have updated theories on the closeness of Iran to finishing the crucial end stage of nuclear bomb capability?

Used to be “months” then “weeks away.” They already violated the wimpy Obama rules with their huge production of materials all over the country, working at redoubled speed to get ready.

” Bolton, a hawk who served as former President Trump’s national security adviser before breaking with him...”

“breaking with him?” Trump fired his ass.

Even W found Bolton’s story tiresome, and canned him.

I’m surprised one of his wives never convinced him that the moustache is doing nothing for him.
