Owayengumeluleki wezokuphepha kuzwelonke uJohn Bolton uthe ayizange imphathe kabi intengo ephansi amasosha ase-Iran ayinikeza ngokubulawa kwakhe, encokola ngokuthi “uphoxekile” ngenani lika-$300,000.
UBolton ubuzwe ngetulo lokubulala inkontileka elihlulekile engxoxweni ngoLwesithathu e-CNN's Situation Room.
"Hhayi-ke, inani eliphansi liyangidida. Bengicabanga ukuthi uzoba mude. Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi kungaba udaba lwemali noma okuthize," kuncokola uBolton.
UBolton wengeze ngokuthi "uqonda kahle ukuthi usongo luyini" kodwa wathi akazi lutho ngecala elibhekene no-Shahram Poursafi, 45, oyilungu leqembu elidume kabi le-Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
UMnyango Wezobulungiswa e-US umemezele ngoLwesithathu ukuthi uthwese uPoursafi, 45, icala lokushaya owayengumeluleki wezokuphepha kuzwelonke kaMongameli uDonald Trump, mhlawumbe eziphindiselela ngokubulawa komkhuzi we-IRGC uQasem Soleimani ngoJanuwari 2020.
UPoursafi usolwa ngokuhlinzeka kanye nokuzama ukweseka itulo lokubulala lamazwe ngamazwe nokusebenzisa indawo yezohwebo ukuze abulale ukuze aqashwe. Uhlala ekhululekile.
UBolton wesula esikhundleni sokuphatha kukaTrump ngoSepthemba 2019 kodwa wancoma ukubulawa kukaSoleimani lapho ebhala ku-Twitter ukuthi unethemba lokuthi "lesi yisinyathelo sokuqala sokushintsha umbuso eTehran."
Kusukela ngo-Okthoba 2021, uPoursafi wazama ukuqasha othile e-United States ukuze athole u-$300,000 eBolton, ngokusho koMnyango Wezobulungiswa wase-US.
Abantu abaqashwe nguPoursafi kuvele ukuthi yizimpimpi ze-FBI ezibuye zibizwe nge-Confidential Human Resources (CHS).
Njengengxenye yalolu zungu, uPoursafi kusolakala ukuthi waphakamisa ukuthi i-CHS ibulale “ngemoto”, wabanika ikheli lehhovisi lowayengumsizi kaTrump, wathi unomkhuba wokuhamba yedwa.
UPoursafi kuthiwa uphinde watshela ababezombulala ukuthi “unomsebenzi wesibili” abakhokhela ngawo u-$1 million.
Umthombo ongashayi eceleni utshele i-CNN ukuthi "umsebenzi wesibili" uqondise owayenguNobhala Wezwe uMike Pompeo, owasebenza ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwezindiza okwabulala uSoleimani futhi wacindezela i-Iran ukuthi ifune ukuziphindiselela ku-US, owayesebenza ekuphathweni kukaTrump.
Kusolwa ukuthi uPompeo usengaphansi kwe-habeas corpus selokhu ashiya isikhundla ngenxa yezinsolo zokusatshiswa ngokubulawa yi-Iran.
Umkhulumeli woMnyango Wezangaphandle e-Iran, uNasser Kanani ngoLwesithathu ukuchithile ukwambulwa koMnyango Wezobulungiswa e-US ngokuthi "izinsolo ezingenangqondo" futhi wakhipha isexwayiso esingacacile egameni likahulumeni wase-Iran sokuthi noma yiziphi izinyathelo ezibhekiswe kwizakhamizi zase-Iran "ziyoba ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe."
Uma etholakala enamacala omabili, uPoursafi ubhekene neminyaka engu-25 ejele kanye nenhlawulo engu-$500,000.
