[Independent] John Bolton has bolstered Donald Trump’s threat to Iran, saying the president would inflict a price "few countries have ever paid", if Tehran does anything negative.In the latest piece of sabre-rattling as the US carries out a sustained propaganda campaign against Iran, Mr Trump’s national security adviser issued a statement saying he had spoken to the president in recent days.
"President Trump told me that if Iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid before," he said.
The words on Monday from Mr Bolton, who has long been a supporter of regime change in Iran, even though the US State Department denies that is official US policy, came after Mr Trump posted a late night tweet ‐ all in capital letters ‐ in which he warned Iran it would "suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before".
"We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death," he added. "Be cautious!"
