Tehran should not interpret Washington’s lack of military action as a sign of weakness, John Bolton has warned, hinting that Donald Trump’s last-minute decision to call off strikes against the Islamic Republic could be reversed. | Tehran should not interpret Washington’s lack of military action as a sign of weakness, John Bolton has warned, hinting that Donald Trump’s last-minute decision to call off strikes against the Islamic Republic could be reversed. |
The US National Security Advisor made the dissuasive remark while speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Sunday. | |
Tehran should not “mistake US prudence and discretion for weakness,” Bolton cautioned. | |
"Our military is rebuilt, new and ready to go," he added, days after Trump called off a planned attack on Iran, a chosen response to Tehran downing a US drone on Thursday. | |
Citing a planned strike against Iranian targets which US President Donald Trump called off, Bolton emphasized that Trump had only stopped the attack from “going forward at this time” – an indication that the decision may only be temporary. | |
According to reports, the US was gearing up to strike several targets inside Iran after a US drone was shot down by the Iranian military. Trump says he called off the attack after learning that an estimated 150 Iranians would be killed. | |
Bolton is in Jerusalem to attend a trilateral meeting of top security officials from the United States, Israel and Russia. The growing hostility between Washington and Tehran is expected to be at the top of the agenda. | |
