Bolton on Iran: Regime Change Is Not the Policy of the Trump Admin

‘The policy of the administration is to make sure that Iran never gets close to deliverable nuclear weapons’

RADDATZ: Would you advocate for regime change?

BOLTON: That’s not the policy of the administration. The policy of the administration is to make sure that Iran never gets close to deliverable nuclear weapons.

RADDATZ: And reports this morning in “The New York Times” say that the United States and Europe had reached consensus on 90 percent of a supplemental agreement, according to people involved in those talks.

Is that true?

BOLTON: I don’t believe it’s true. I have read the text of the supplemental agreement. It didn’t address the basic flaws in the agreement that President Trump identified.

And back to you, President Trump identified these flaws two years ago. Nobody in the world, nobody should be surprised that the president’s entirely consistent view on the negative aspects of this deal finally materialized on Tuesday in the U.S. getting out of the deal.
