Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton has cautioned that the US-Israel conflict with Iran could deepen further if the temporary ceasefire, reached “under political compulsions” by President Donald Trump, does not hold through.
In an interview with PTI Videos, Bolton said Trump pushed for a ceasefire because of the political implications of rising gas prices in the US, the plunge in his popularity among the masses, and because an extended conflict with Iran could result in a severe setback for the US.
“Well, I think a deeper, more lasting conflict is entirely possible. The real issue is Trump. He’s been so concerned about the price at the pump of gasoline, the political implications for him. His popularity has gone down noticeably He may not care about all these broader considerations,” Bolton said.
“He (Trump) looks out after himself and that may be what dominates his thinking. And if so, I think that could result in a severe setback for the United States,” Bolton said to​Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton has cautioned that the US-Israel conflict with Iran could deepen further if the temporary ceasefire, reached “under political compulsions” by President Donald Trump, does not hold through.
