Nobody can predict what Trump will order at 8pm tonight: John Bolton

In an exclusive interview with India Today, former US National Security Advisor Ambassador John Bolton critiques President Donald Trump’s escalating rhetoric and handling of the Iran crisis as the deadline approaches. Bolton describes the President’s mental state as a 'jumble', suggesting his 'dangerous' social media warnings stem from intense pressure and a desire to declare victory despite the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed. He adds nobody can really predict what he's going to do or what he will order at 8 o'clock. Discussing reports of US-Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure, Bolton argues that the administration is in disarray, with Vice President JD Vance attempting to calm global markets while Trump ramps up threats. Bolton dismisses the possibility of a genuine agreement tonight, predicting instead that Trump may conduct limited military strikes before extending the deadline by another seven days to maintain a facade of control. He further claims that true stability can only be achieved through regime change in Tehran, asserting that the current leadership remains radical despite the elimination of top officials.
