President Donald Trump faces an inherent "problem" in his administration that "magnifies the risk" of failure in Iran, according to a former administration insider. Early Saturday morning, U.S. and Israeli forces conducted a coordinated bombing campaign across more than 100 sites in Iran. The move set off a geopolitical frenzy, with Iran firing retaliatory strikes at several neighboring countries as well as at the U.S. embassy in Kuwait, which killed six Americans over the weekend. Trump has said the U.S. will stay in the fight for as long as it takes to achieve the country's objectives, although his administration has not yet laid out a compelling case for the operation, according to some lawmakers on Capitol Hill. John Bolton, the president's national security advisor during his first administration, told Joanna Coles on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" on Wednesday that he is concerned that Trump hasn't thought through the implications of the strikes. He added that the president's lack of a decision-making process "magnifies the risk" that something could go wrong. “As long as things are going successfully, he’ll stick with it," Bolton said. "If we run into real difficulty, and I hope we don’t, and we shouldn’t at this point, but if we do, because anything is possible, that would be the testing time to see whether he was able to stick it out."
