John Bolton stated that if Iran were to assassinate him, President Trump would have to respond militarily, highlighting the serious threats posed by Iranian officials. Bolton expressed disappointment over Trump's decision to withdraw Secret Service protection for him and Mike Pompeo, emphasizing that the threats they face are backed by intelligence agencies. He argued that inaction against Iran would convey weakness, which is detrimental to U.S. foreign policy, and underlined a preference for a future without threats requiring protection.
If Trump doesn't respond militarily to an Iranian assassination attempt against me, it would signal weakness and invite further provocations.
I think plenty of other people would feel responsible if something happens, which is what deters Iran from acting.
