U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton, former board member of UN Watch, met today in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At a joint press conference, Bolton said that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is of the 'highest importance' for the U.S., which is why America withdraw from the "wretched" nuclear deal.

"It’s a question of the highest importance for the United States that Iran never gets a deliverable nuclear weapons capability. It’s why President Trump withdrew from the wretched Iran nuclear deal … It’s why we work with our friends in Europe to convince them to take stronger steps against the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile program,” he emphasized.

Bolton, who is on a three-day visit to Israel, also underlined that Iranian aggression in the region is a threat to the whole world, and that the threat could be mitigated by reapplying stiff sanctions that were lifted by the Obama administration.
