Former U.S. National Security Advisor Bolton said in an interview today: "Iran has crossed the red line, but Trump hasn't decided yet, he doesn't do strategic thinking at all, he just deals with things day by day, making one deal after another."
Comment: The "red line" that Bolton mentioned regarding Iran refers to Iran's uranium enrichment approaching weapon-grade levels and breaking the nuclear threshold set by the U.S., touching the U.S. "non-allowance of Iran possessing nuclear weapons" bottom line. The so-called "Iran crossing the red line" is essentially a hegemonic rule unilaterally set by the U.S., and its essence is still a这套强权政治 (a set of power politics). Bolton is a more radical warmonger than Trump; criticizing the president isn't for rationality, but because he thinks Trump isn't bold enough or fierce enough.
