Iran gives cautious welcome to sacking of John Bolton

Tehran says removal of Trump official will not bring prospect of talks with Washington closer
Quote:
Hassan Rouhani, Iran’s president, said on Wednesday that the US had to not only remove “warmongers” — a clear reference to Mr Bolton — but also abandon “its warmongering and ‘maximum pressure’ policies”. He said Iran would continue its policy of resistance against the US pressure

Why U.S. foes around the world will welcome Bolton’s departure, and why they shouldn’t get too excited


Quote:
Especially North Korea, Iran and Russia considered Bolton to be a key obstacle and are unlikely to miss him. But between the lines, their reactions to Bolton’s ouster also reflected analysts’ skepticism whether the disliked adviser’s ouster would really alter the Trump administration’s overall aims and strategy.
