Bolton: Trump often looks for an off-ramp. My concern is he may damage Iran but stop before regime change happens.
That would leave the same regime in power — wounded and more desperate for revenge. If he wasn’t ready to finish it, he shouldn’t have started the war.

The economy is collapsing, most young people want a different future, and many ethnic groups oppose the government.
If the regime can’t defend itself after these attacks, its days may be numbered.

Bolton: I would not have started war with Iran unless the goal was regime change and there was the resolve to see it through.
