John Bolton blasts US strategy in Iran war | DW News

Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton says the United States is “signalling weakness” to Iran, and that could shape the outcome of the war.

– Reopening the Strait of Hormuz may not restore shipping confidence
– Regime change should be the end goal
– Dismisses war crimes allegations against Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu
– Rejects claims of a nuclear double standard
