Bolton slams proposed Iran deal: ‘Big defeat for the United States’
Former national security adviser John Bolton has criticized the proposed Iran deal, calling it a 'big defeat for the United States'.

Bolton believes the agreement would allow Iran to buy time to rebuild its capabilities while negotiations continue.
