John Bolton: US-Israeli Deterrence a 'Massive Failure' against Iran

Al-Mayadeen reported citing Bolton's interview with CNN, "What we had tonight was a massive failure of Israeli and American deterrence."

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned the US government that supporting or taking part in harming Iran's interests would result in a decisive and regrettable response by the Iranian Armed Forces.

White House spokesperson John Kirby revealed that the United States does not want to see more escalations in the Middle East, following the events of Iran's retaliatory operation against "Israel" on Sunday. 

"We're not looking for a wider war with Iran," he told NBC's Meet the Press. 

US President Joe Biden also told Netanyahu that his country would not participate in an offensive operation against Iran. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin relayed the same decision to Israeli war Minister Yoav Gallant.
