John Bolton Interview | "US Was Not Prepared": Ex-US NSACalls Out Trump's Hormuz Miscalculation
Iran War Latest News: Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton speaks to NDTV's Vedika Sud amid escalating tensions in West Asia, delivering a blunt assessment of Donald Trump's handling of the Iran conflict. Bolton questions the lack of a clear US endgame, calls out "failures of strategic thinking," and warns that Washington was underprepared for Iran's potential move to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz. He also casts doubt on Trump's claims of a possible deal with Tehran, saying there is "no real chance" of meaningful talks at this stage. As the war intensifies and global stakes rise, Bolton outlines why he believes regime change - not diplomacy - remains the only long-term solution, while cautioning that mixed messaging from Washington could prolong and complicate the conflict.
