John Bolton: Former Trump National Security Advisor on the handling of the situation in the Middle East, the ceasefire negotiations - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A former advisor to Donald Trump says he's under more pressure than Iran. 

The US and Iran will sit down for talks in less than 48 hours in Pakistan, as the ceasefire between the two nations continues to look shaky. 

The Strait of Hormuz is reportedly back open, but Iran says any ships that pass through will need to communicate with its army.  

Iran's claimed victory, saying its regime will seek compensation for every single loss inflicted. 

Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton told Mike Hosking the US President needs to open the strait with military force if ships can't pass through.  

He says if the US isn't able to prove it can open the strait, then who knows what will happen if Iran closes it again.
