Former ’Israeli’ War Minister Says Bolton Was Pushing Him to Strike Iran
Local Editor
The newly appointed US National Security Adviser, John Bolton, tried to persuade "Israel" to conduct a pre-emptive strike against Iran before it achieved nuclear weapons capability, the Zionist entity's former War Minister revealed.
"I got to know John Bolton when he was the US ambassador to the United Nations," Shaul Mofaz said at a conference of former "Israeli" military chiefs. "He tried to convince me that "Israel" should attack Iran."
Mofaz, an Iranian-born "Israeli" who served as the war minister at the time when Bolton headed the US mission at the UN, in turn advised the ultra-hawkish Republican against attacking Tehran.
Mofaz explained that he did not believe that a military strike on Iran would be a "wise" decision, for either Tel Aviv or Washington DC.
Meanwhile, Bolton, an Iraq war apologist and an advocate of ‘military options' in many other conflicts, is set to replace outgoing National Security Adviser Gen. HR McMaster on April 9, just days after CIA chief Mike Pompeo will supplant Rex Tillerson as head of US State Department.
With these new key foreign policy leaders in place at the helm of US President Donald Trump administration, many politicians on Capitol Hill have raised concerns that Trump would be fully ready for war.
Trump announced Bolton's appointment last Thursday, amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington DC over the future of the 2015 nuclear agreement signed between P5+1 and the Islamic Republic.
