Former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton pointed out that “the FBI briefed me on the assassination attempt in early 2020” and clarified that “the assassination attempt by Iran was directed against former and current US officials,” and pointed out that “there is evidence of the terrorist practices of the Iranian regime.”

In an interview with Al-Arabiya TV, he considered that “the US administration would be mistaken by returning to a nuclear agreement with Iran,” stressing that “a nuclear agreement with Iran would be a complete failure.” And he believed that “the majority of members of Congress refuse to return to the nuclear agreement with Iran, and the nuclear agreement with Iran signed in 2015 is very bad.”

Bolton pointed out that “the lack of a strong American response is forcing Iran to continue its acts of terrorism” and added that “Iran continues its provocative behavior to control the Middle East region, and the threats that we and our partners face come from Tehran.”

And the US Justice Department announced earlier today that it had “exposed an Iranian plot to kill Bolton” by blaming “an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps member named Shahram Borsafi.”

The Justice Department said Shahram Borsafi, 45, also known as Mehdi Rezaee, offered to pay $300,000 to individuals in the United States for killing Bolton, likely in retaliation for the January 2020 assassination by the United States of high-ranking IRGC commander Qasem Soleimani.
