The US National Security Adviser has launched a scathing attack on Iran saying there will “be hell to pay” if Tehran tried to harm the US and its allies.
The warning from John Bolton came after US President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani clashed at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.
“So I might imagine they would take me seriously when I assure them today that if you cross us, our allies or our partners, if you harm our citizens, if you continue to lie cheat and deceive. Yes there will indeed be hell to pay,” the US National Security Advisor said.
Speaking at an organisation that opposed the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, from which the Trump administration withdrew in May, Bolton criticised the deal as “the worst diplomatic debacle in American history”.
“[The deal] did nothing to address the regime’s destabilising activity or its ballistic missile development and proliferation,” Bolton said. “Worst of all the deal failed to achieve its fundamental objective permanently denying Iran all paths to nuclear weapons.” Earlier, Trump, during his speech at the General Assembly, called Tehran “the leading sponsor of terrorism” while Rouhani accused the US administration of trying to overthrow his government.
