Bolton
is likely to push for the creation of a new sectarian state out of
Syrian and Iraqi territory, now that the groundwork has been laid and
the path largely cleared to building a “new Middle East.” Iran is
currently the only country in the region with the potential to foil
that plan.

Part
4 - ‘Donald Trump may have just effectively declared war on Iran’
The
announcement that John Bolton – perhaps the best known advocate for
war with Iran in American politics – would soon replace H.R.
McMaster as National Security Adviser received mixed reactions within
the United States and, as MintPress recently noted, great praise from
Israel.
However,
news that Bolton would soon have a key role in the Trump
administration caused panic among Iranians and Iranian-Americans as
well as anti-war advocates.
In
response to Bolton’s appointment, Trita Parsi, the president of the
National Iranian American Council, issued a statement, warning:
“Donald Trump may have just effectively declared war on Iran.
With the appointment of John Bolton, and nomination of Mike Pompeo at
State, Trump is clearly putting together a war cabinet.”
However,
regime change in Iran through war is just a stepping stone in
Bolton’s plan to create a “new Middle East” by redrawing the
borders of both Iraq and Syria and ending all possible obstacles —
like an independent Iran — to fundamentally changing the region’s
balance of power.
