"Well, I think they made the mistake of believing that Donald Trump had a consistent philosophy, national security strategy and policy, which he doesn't. My only regret is that I wasn't persuasive enough in the first term to get to this point."
"Bolton backs a regime change plan, arguing Trump's team needs to look for weak leaks in the existing leadership structure to pull the regime apart from the top and convert significant resources."
President Trump and former National Security Advisor John Bolton found rare agreement on Saturday regarding military strikes against Iran conducted jointly by the U.S. and Israel. Bolton appeared on CNN to discuss the strikes, which targeted Iranian military bases and leadership. When asked about MAGA voters who supported Trump expecting him to avoid new wars, Bolton stated they mistakenly believed Trump possessed a consistent national security philosophy, which he argued Trump lacks. Bolton expressed regret at not being more persuasive during Trump's first term to advance military action against Iran. Bolton advocates for regime change, suggesting Trump's team identify weaknesses in Iran's leadership structure. Early reports indicated Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may have been killed, though Iran denied casualties among high-level officials.
