Former National Security Adviser John Bolton said the United States needs to launch “disproportionate” strikes by hitting targets inside Iran in response to the deadly drone attack on U.S. forces that killed three American soldiers in Jordan over the weekend.
Mr. Bolton suggested that U.S. retaliatory strikes should target the alleged source of the attacks, the Iranian regime, rather than solely focusing on the Iran-backed proxies carrying out the attacks. He said there is a need for a response that goes beyond a simple tit-for-tat, advocating for more significant and impactful action.
