TEHRAN, Iran — The Latest on tensions between the U.S. and Iran and in the Persian Gulf :U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton says Iran should not “mistake U.S. prudence and discretion for weakness.”
The comments come days after President Donald Trump announced he called off military strikes on Iran after learning approximately 150 Iranians would be killed, saying it would’ve been out of proportion to the shooting down of an unmanned American surveillance drone by Iran. The semi-official Fars news agency on Sunday quoted Gen. Gholamali Rashid as saying the Trump administration “should behave in a responsible way to protect the lives of American forces.”
U.S. military cyber forces launched a strike against Iranian military computer systems on Thursday as President Donald Trump backed away from plans for a more conventional military strike after learning approximately 150 Iranians would be killed.Saudi Arabia’s state airline Saudia says it is rerouting flight paths to some Asian destinations in order to avoid Iranian airspace amid heightened tensions in the Persian Gulf.
Iranian general keeps talking he'll be a pink mist soon...........
Bolton is frothing at the mouth
But they should interpret Trump's obvious weakness as weakness.
With this administration it is weakness.
As if, in the end, the 16+ YEAR, 10 TRILLION debacle in Iraq isn't more instructive' on 'what should dictate our path forward in Iran vs. Bolton trying to 'make this about 'being pushed around' by a Persian nation under SANCTIONS that poses ZERO THREAT to anyone, much less us.
John Bolton and Donald Trump are draft dodgers dying to play military after they were both too chicken to serve.
Thank Obama.
😂
Someone tell that damn war-nerd to shut the hell up. Put him in a ring somewhere so he can get his pent up frustration out, without starting a war
Hahahaha
Like when we avoided a proxy war with Putin in Syria?
They wouldn't do that. They see Trump and think 'weakness.'
No one should mistake Bolton for a man of prudence and discretion.
Bolton must be pissed. That little rubber neck cowered wants to kill somebody. Let's hand him a gun, put him on a plane and send him there. Wherever 'there' is. Let's see how he does without my children being sent to do his dirty work for him.
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?
blufferInChief
What a joke. Weak is exactly how they see us due to Trump’s inaction and lame excuse as to why he did not hit back. THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN HUMILIATED AND IT IS A DISGRACE.
Bolton has an almost unexplainable hate for Iran. An Iranian guy must have slept with his wife.
It's funny... history tells us no president has failed at reelected if the country is at war. Something tells me someone told Trump this hints all the dumb rhetoric coming out the White House these days. WakeUp folks!
They should see it as complete surrender & realDonaldTrump adopting the Carter administration’s foreign policy.
BREAKING: John Bolton needs to shut up
What about mistaking them for stupidity?
Bolton is sad Putin called off the airstrike
whoa, you're missing the second part of this, 'as he gleefully tweezes his war boner'
I can’t believe Bolton is still in the government after his disastrous performance in Iraq.
firebolton
Iran keeps me up at night.
✌️
Nuclear amateur hour
We have a 70 year old child in the Whitehouse.
Bolton itching for a war
The United States has sent a warning to the corrupt regime in Iran by hitting its missile control systems with cripping cyber attacks.
Of course not! They are smart, very smart, not stupid people.
Bolton loves war ... his eyes get googly when thinking about it
The only Bolton I listen to, is mbsings ....this other guy is a dweeb.
We’ve heard this before.
Playing a game of chicken is not prudence and discretion.
Except the President is a coward who avoided the draft by faking bone spurs? How is that not weakness?
Probably shouldn't mistake bellicose blathering for strength, either.
John Bolton should shut-up super quickly... He still has the Blood of Millions of people on his hands and the spread of all the major crisis in the Middle East after the Lies he helped Concoct with stating the war with Iraq! realDonaldTrump JZarif SpeakerPelosi
🙄🙄🙄🙄 I see Trump sent him out to knock down the weakness cries from the Trumpists 🙄🙄
Someone needs to gag that man
If kept GenevaConvention POTUS & America will Not only lose one more (Proxy) war as Korea & Vietnam & Angola & Mozambique & Iraq ( Iran branch) & Syria & Afghanistan but also superpower role.Nothing 2 win but all 2 lose. SpeakerPelosi & senatemajldr must stop it
Bolton the war criminal
They shouldn't mistake indecision for indecision
They ‘shouldn’t’ but they will 😆
Stay prudent and discreet a bit longer. Iran’s Supreme Leader is in poor health. Once he’s gone, a successor will likely be a dove.
But they will...
His war moustache is tingling
Ostrov_A Religious freaks Iran will get too cocky then
There is a certain type that has to go around loudly boasting about their strength and denying weakness, those that do so tend to be little more than bullies with weak character's and crushing insecurity with an inability to form meaningful relationships.
👀👀
Bolton wants a war he is completely insane and should be locked up
War mongering scumbag, shame he's in the Trump administration. Warisbigbusiness
The only way Bolton can get hard.
How about we send Bolton to war with Iran? Just him. If necessary, send Pompeo next.
Ugh...bolton. Hush.
There's no mistaking, it's definitely weakness.
US lies and deception he meant definitely
I have already considered it as weakness, albeit treatable: the hesitancy and indecision typical of any number of mental health issues. MakeTrumpWellAgain
John Bolton is childish. He sounds juvenile.
Ba ha ha ha.... does he mean don't mistake Trump's lunacy as weakness?
Why not, a lot of Americans do. Trump isn't fit to be president.
Or wisdom.
🤔
It’s like ESPN
Why isn't this warmongering maniac in jail for his role in the illegal war in Iraq?
Bolton needs to be fired
The US ist weak. It makes war all the time.
They only have to know.. There is an election.. And trump wanna win, because the NYC procecuters are waiting.. Therefor he will do anything to get reelected.. And the Americans never ever won't vote for a sitting potus in war time... As simple as possible
When the scope of application of the driving systems and the adoption of the adoption of the acquisition of shares extracting the ability of the rise of the quality of the quality of state documentation and maximize the sail and the items of leadership team of the periodic shelf
John Bolton should not mistake his mouth for his ass, but he seems to always be talking out of the wrong one.
Shut up and sit down bolton
Bolton's up early today then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
