“President Donald Trump has long been interested in regime change in Iran, but his appetite for risk means he may not have fully prepared for what’s coming next, according to John Bolton, Trump’s onetime national security adviser,” Politico reports.
“While Bolton praised Trump’s strikes on Iran as the ‘most consequential decision’ of his presidency, he warned that Trump and his administration could have acted impulsively without any appreciation for the complex aftermath of what is now a power vacuum.”
“Notably, he added, there could be chaos in the Straits of Hormuz, which Iran has threatened to shut down in order to block the twenty percent of global oil supply that flows through it every day.”
