Iran ‘on verge of regime change’, says former Trump adviser

John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, said the US strikes have left Iran “on the verge” of “regime change”.

Mr Bolton, who has been a frequent critic of his former boss, told CNN that the US president made the “right decision for America”, calling Iranian leadership “very vulnerable” and “in trouble”.

While he suggested Iran would be wary of taking on the US, he said it could seek to close the Strait of Hormuz to damage global shipping, strike US military or civilians, damage oil infrastructure, or launch terrorist attacks around the world.

In that situation, Mr Trump would have no choice but to use “brutal force against the Iranian regime”, he said.

Why did the talks fail to advance? Because Israel bombed Iran and assassinated the person in charge of the talks

You lost your debate
Get over it.

No
Because the Iranians
gave no more information to advance the talks

Iran has a Number 2
that can do the talks
if they wish to.

They may want to think that.

Iran has Russia as a Mate.

as i said earlier, there are so many ways this could go now, i don't believe anyone can accurately predict next moves. What Trump doesn't understand is that if the regime in iran feel cornered, they will do anything

Yes

The Straits of Hormuz,
Iran can block.

you can't force regime change from the air, you need to send in troops on the ground and Iran has an army of 1 million soldiers

No, not this time.

What are you on about? The debate where you went back on everything you said to agree with me? This is a separate issue - you shouldn't be spamming pics in SD, for no reason.

An image of the Stealth Bomber that delivered the bombs in a thread about the surgically successful operation is hardly spam

It adds to the thread

Bollocks
It is a important Photo

And it was posted into the thread by you on the previous page. We going to have the same pic on every page, for absolutely no reason?

Up yer bollix.

Not everyone goes back a page
So stop your moaning................

I mean, it just highlights what I said previously. @James, can we get a comment on whether spamming pics in SD threads for no reason, is cool or not?

It is not spamming.


Does not need a Staff Ruling.

Get over it

This needs to be kept clear
for shipping


Iran needs to stay out of it.

It is absolutely spamming. Whatever James decides I will abide by without issue, and we both know he won't go against you spamming, because it's been allowed for so many years, but I'd like an official decision on spamming pics in SD threads, because James is tightening up SD, so it's a good time to get all the rules out in the open, so everyone knows where they stand.

Better Days

Iran 1979

What do you know about the Iranian revolution, Arista?

Tragic

That's deep, brah.

The pre revolution Shah and his family were totally corrupt. They pissed off the people enough to allow the revolution to happen
