John Bolton hat die Wahrscheinlich, dass die US-Regierung noch unter Bush gegen den Iran militärisch vorgeht, auf praktisch gleich null geschätzt; in den folgenden Jahren wird sich seiner Einschätzung nach auch hieran nichts ändern:

“The United States used to have a policy on Iran and recently there was a new push to create a new policy [sic] but sadly, due to the direction American policy is going, it seems that for the next few years the United States will be a bystander to the process.”

“It’s close to zero percent chance that the Bush administration will authorize military action against Iran before leaving office. At the same time in Teheran, they took careful notice of how Israel got into Syria and began preparing for such an action against Iran. Without American policy backing anti-Iran action, Israel should be willing to see itself as a possible last resort.”
