National Security Advisor John Bolton
▪ “Bolton wants a crisis. He hopes to use the pressure as a maximum containment strategy to cripple the Iranian economy, increasing domestic opposition to the government, and making regime change more likely.
▪ … ‘forcing’ the Americans to engage in military intervention for Bolton [is] a useful pretext to bombing key nuclear facilities that would set the Iranian program back years or more.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
▪ “Pompeo wants the band back together. He doesn’t believe the United States can credibly induce the Iranians towards a more constructive posture by themselves, and accordingly wants a tougher, common front to force better terms from Iran from a position of strength.
▪ Pompeo hopes the Europeans and other allies will be more supportive of broader American pressure against Iran, and a multilateral coalition can come back together.”

President Trump
▪ “President Trump wants a breakthrough on his terms. He wants to use American power to force the Iranians into direct negotiations, and pull off a better agreement than Obama did.”
