Former National Security Adviser John Bolton says President Biden could be making a “treasonous” deal with Iran if his administration offers guarantees that future U.S. presidents will be constrained from exiting a renewed nuclear accord with the Islamic republic.
Mr. Bolton, an Iran hawk who worked closely with former President Trump to withdraw from the Obama-era nuclear deal back in 2018, said Wednesday that a future Republican administration will undoubtedly seek to overturn whatever agreement the current administration makes with Iran.
His assertions in an exchange with journalists in Washington came amid reports that Iranian negotiators have sought “guarantees” from the Biden administration that Tehran will be “compensated” in the event a future American president pulls out of whatever deal may ultimately be reached.
