Episode notes
Regime Change As The Only Certain Nuclear Solution
- John Bolton argues the only certain way to stop Iran's nuclear program is regime change plus verifiable removal of enriched uranium.
- He compares Libya 2003 where inspectors packed up its program and took it to Oak Ridge as the model for provable elimination.
Prewar Warnings About Hormuz Were Given
- John Bolton recounts that US advisers warned of contingencies like Strait of Hormuz closure before attacks commenced.
- He says Trump either ignored advice or thought he could 'fake his way through' those known risks.
Clear Hormuz And Back Internal Opposition
- Bolton's immediate actions would be to clear the Strait of Hormuz militarily and massively increase support for internal Iranian opponents.
- He says combining internal pressure with economic blockade and reopening Gulf shipping would degrade Iran's leverage.
