John Bolton Calls For Regime Change In Iran

The hawkish former diplomat’s worldview is at odds with Donald Trump’s non-interventionist rhetoric.

WASHINGTON ― John Bolton, a top candidate to serve as President-elect Donald Trump’s secretary of state, is publicly calling for the U.S. to help overthrow the existing government in Iran.

“The only long-term solution is regime change in Tehran,” the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations told SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily on Thursday morning. “The ayatollahs are the principal threat to international peace and security in the Middle East.”

The call for regime change is very much in line with past statements from Bolton, a hyper-hawkish Bush administration official who stands by the decision to invade Iraq in 2003. He has repeatedly urged the U.S. to help Israel bomb Iran or do it alone. Even as Iran was in the final stages of negotiating an international agreement that requires it to dramatically scale back its nuclear infrastructure, Bolton recommended a military attack.

Thursday’s remark suggests that he has no plans to tone down his adventurist foreign policy views, which run counter to Trump’s repeated promises to focus resources domestically and to avoid unnecessary entanglements abroad.

Bolton wouldn't be wrong on Iran needing a regime change.

Aren't the "ayatollahs the principal threat to international peace and security in the Mid East"? One thing about Bolton is that he isn't afraid to analyze the problem and recommend a solution unlike John Kerry who calls "global warming" the greatest threat to the world while the Mid East is falling apart.
