Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton slammed President Joe Biden‘s recent comments that Israel should seek “other alternatives” than striking Iran after the Arab country launched a missile barrage on the Jewish nation earlier this week.

Speaking on NewsNation’s The Hill on Sunday, Bolton was asked to respond to Biden’s comments from a surprise appearance at a White House press briefing, specifically whether Biden’s suggestion that Israel should avoid striking oil fields in Iran is a “mistake.”
