Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton has spent years arguing that bombing Iran isn’t just justified but necessary. 

For decades he has argued that American military force can solve the problem of hostile regimes in the Middle East.

Now, as the US escalates again, Bolton’s worldview is back at the centre of the debate. A worldview, that when it comes to Iran, our government shares.
