Summary
<p>John Bolton has spent years arguing that bombing Iran isn’t just justified but necessary. </p> <p>For decades he has argued that American military force can solve the problem of hostile regimes in the Middle East.

A worldview, that when it comes to Iran, our government shares. </p> <p>Today, former Trump national security adviser John Bolton, on the strikes on Iran, and on why a man who backed the invasion of Iraq still sees bombing as the answer. </p> <p> </p> <p>If you enjoy <em>7am</em>, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at <a href="http://7ampodcast.com.au/support">7ampodcast.com.au/support</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Socials:</strong><strong> </strong>Stay in touch with us on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/7ampodcast">Instagram</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Ambassador John Bolton, Former Trump National Security Advisor</p> <p><strong>Photo: </strong>PA/Alamy</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
