    Every day that they're not being pounded, a gift to Iran regime: Nat'l Security Advisor John Bolton

    John Bolton, Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., sits down with Ben Yaniv to discuss the US-Iran negotiations, the ceasefire, the future of the Strait of Hormuz, and the limits of Trump's second-term Middle East strategy.Bolton argues that the Iranian regime is not negotiating in good faith and never has, that every day of the ceasefire is a gift to Tehran, and that the only durable path to peace and stability in the region runs through regime change. He lays out what he believes Trump is actually optimizing for, namely gas prices at the pump and the November midterms, and explains why that political pressure is producing what looks like strategic confusion in Washington. On the Strait of Hormuz, Bolton makes the case that the United States should seize control of the waterway, blockade Iranian oil exports while letting Arab oil flow, and break the leverage Tehran is now building. If the situation is allowed to evolve in Iran's direction, he warns, Tehran will treat the Strait like a light switch and the Gulf Arab states will live at its mercy. On Judea and Samaria, Bolton says Gulf states are quietly telling Trump not to recognize Israeli law at this stage, and that the prospect of an expanded Abraham Accords is the reason. On the United Nations, he argues the body is now mostly a damage-control exercise, but that forcing Russia and China to cast public vetoes on Iran-related resolutions still has value in shaping world opinion.
