John Bolton: I Hope the U.S. Assists Israel in Striking the Iranian Nuclear Facilities

EXCERPT:

BOLTON: "Well, I hope the U.S. assists Israel in striking. The Iranian nuclear program is not just Israel‘s problem. It‘s our problem. It‘s a proliferation threat to the whole world. And if Israel goes ahead, they could go in heavy, they could go in light, they could do a lot of things. But the end of the nuclear weapons program, I think, would essentially eliminate this proliferation threat as far as the eye can see. And I think, combined with what else has happened to Iran since October 23rd, the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, substantial punishment to its terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah, I think it would help undermine the regime itself. And that‘s really the path to long-term stability in the Middle East, to have the ayatollahs removed from power."
