"A blockade makes sense, you don't have to attack Kharg Island. I don't think that was ever realistic. The point is, if no Gulf oil gets out, no Iranian oil gets out."
"Bolton's thumbs up for the blockade stands out, considering him and Trump aren't on the best of terms. The FBI raided his home last year, and Bolton said in his memoir that Trump was unfit to be commander-in-chief."
"The only way to get true peace and security in the Middle East is to have regime change in Iran. You can negotiate all you want with these people, it's not going to change anything."
John Bolton commended President Trump's naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, stating it effectively prevents Iranian oil from reaching the market. Bolton noted that the blockade is a sensible approach, avoiding direct attacks on Kharg Island. He criticized the Trump Administration's handling of the Iran war, labeling Vice President JD Vance's negotiations a failure and calling for regime change in Iran as the only path to lasting peace. Bolton's support for the blockade is notable given his previous criticisms of Trump.
