Zarif: Bolton failed to lure Trump into war, turning his ‘venom’ against UK

Al-Arabi – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Sunday that US National Security Adviser John Bolton is “turning his venom against the UK” after failing to “lure Trump into [the] War of the Century].”

On his official Twitter account, he added that only “prudence and foresight” could alleviate tensions between his country and Britain after Tehran’s seizure of a British-flagged oil tanker.

“Only prudence and foresight can thwart such ploys.”
