Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton said Israel should consider dismantling Iran’s nuclear weapons program in response to Tehran’s attack. His words are broadcast on the TV channel CNN.
He emphasized that Iran’s attack on the territory of the Jewish state is a failure of the containment policy of Israel and the United States. From Bolton’s perspective, Israel’s response should be “much stronger.”
“It’s almost certain at this point that none of the missiles contain nuclear warheads, but you never know when the next attack, the next salvo of ballistic missiles, may contain nuclear warheads,” Bolton said.
In this context, he called on Israel to consider eliminating Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The former adviser hoped that the White House would not dissuade Benjamin Netanyahu from implementing such a plan.
Formerly Tennessee Republican congresswoman Marsha Blackburn in the name Washington will “launch aggressive retaliatory strikes against Iran” following Tehran’s attacks on Israeli territory.
Previously Israel was praised for its “impressive defense” and called for an “overwhelming attack”.
