Bolton’s selection is tantamount to increasing pressure on Iran
Naghavi Hosseini, spokesman of the Iranian parliament’s Security & Foreign Policy Commission said:
“The selection of John Bolton as the U.S. National Security Advisor is aimed at increasing pressures & aggressive policies against Iran in the coming days.
“Bolton is one of the planners of toppling the Islamic Republic Of Iran.
“Down this path Bolton is supporting the [Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)].
“We are also witnessing the coming of a new U.S. Secretary of State and a new sanctions bill against Iran in the U.S. Congress.
“This trend signals the fact that the Americans… intend to continue their aggressive and enmity policy against Iran.”
“Firebrand PMOI/MEK supporter becomes the new U.S. National Security Advisor.”
“Bolton has time and again… sought regime change in Iran and is known for his strong positions against the Islamic republic.
“The National Security Advisor is an important post in the White House and plays a significant role in policy-making & administration decisions in regards to U.S. foreign policy and military strategy.
“Donald Trump and H.R. McMaster were talking about his resignation for some time. They pushed this development forward to have the new team in place sooner.
“[Bolton], now in the main decision-making entity defining U.S. strategy, publicly supports regime change in Iran.
“Supporters of aggressive action against Iran’s regime admire Bolton for his frankness.
“Bolton also has good relations with the [PMOI/MEK], meeting with Maryam Rajavi and delivering a number of speeches in their events.”
Guardian Council spokesman Abbasali Kadkhodaie says:
“The news is short yet very meaningful. John Bolton, an [Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)] supporter, obtains the highest political post in Trump’s administration.”
“Supporter of war against [Iranian regime] becomes US National Security Advisor!”
“Bolton is among the most explicit opponents of the nuclear agreement (JCPOA).”
“Bolton is among the main [PMOI/MEK] supporters and has supported regime change in Iran in his speeches at their rallies.”
Tabnak website (affiliated to former Revolutionary Guards chief Mohsen Rezaie):
“With new changes in the White House, one must say the neocons have gained the main role in Trump’s foreign policies against Iran.”
“The nuclear deal and political regime change in Iran is the epicenter of this defiance.”
“Considering the new circumstances, we must say political regime change is once again in the Trump administration’s agenda.”
“[The new White House apparatus] considers Iran the main issue in the Middle East and Tehran the main threat against US interests.”
“They are attempting to portray [the Iranian regime] as tantamount to ISIS.”
“As the new White House National Security Advisor, John Bolton will be playing an important role in Trump’s security decisions.”
“Bolton has repeatedly adopted aggressive positions against [the Iranian regime].”
“He is a staunch supporter of exiting the JCPOA.”
“Leaving the Iran nuclear deal was the pivotal point of John Bolton’s first TV interview.”
“Trump’s new National Security Advisor reiterated he is participating in this program to talk about US’ possible JCPOA exit.”
“John Bolton is known for his strong stance against the [Iranian regime].”
“(US Secretary of State-nominee Mike) Pompeo also holds strong opinions against the nuclear pact.”
