Trump on timeline of Iran war:

It’s always been a four week process. We figured it will be four weeks or so.

It’s a big country, it’ll take four weeks — or less.

John Bolton praised Trump’s strike on Iran as the “most consequential decision” of his presidency — but warned it could unleash chaos.

“There could be a lot of turmoil, a lot of bloodshed,” Bolton said, pointing to the risk of a power vacuum after the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader.

Bolton questioned whether Trump had fully planned for the aftermath. “He doesn’t particularly think strategically,” he said, adding that Trump “could swing wildly on a given issue in the course of a day.”

Oman’s Foreign Minister, Badr Albusaidi:

I want to be very clear - the door to diplomacy remains open.

Talks in Geneva made genuine progress towards an unprecedented agreement between Iran and the United States and although the hope was to avoid war, war should not mean that the hope of peace is extinguished.

I still believe in the power of diplomacy to resolve this conflict. The sooner talks are resumed the better it is for everyone.
