John Bolton: Trump Needs to End the Ceasefire, Which Has Done Nothing But Benefit Iran, ‘It Gives Them Relief’

‘At a time when we should be applying more pressure’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOLTON: “Well, I think it’s a waste of oxygen to negotiate with the Iranian. I don’t think they’re ever going to come up with something that we should find satisfactory. I think the president’s really got two options militarily. One is to end this: the ceasefire, which has done nothing but benefit Iran reports they rebreathe started production of drones. They’ve dug out a lot of arsenals that had been buried in the first wave of attacks that this is. This is something that gives them relief at a time when we should be applying more pressure. The present it clearly doesn’t want to do that he’s worried about the political ramifications. So, looking at the second option, I think you need to open the Strait of Hormuz with military force, if necessary, to allow oil from the Arab side of the gulf come out. I would maintain and maybe even strengthen the blockade against Iranian shipments of oil, but to relieve pressure on the international economy. I think you have to force the straight open, get the Arab oil out and that really increases the pressure on the regime in Iran to to decide whether it’s or for going to find a way out of the dilemma. It is created.”
