UBolton ubuzwe ngecebo lokubulala inkontileka elahluleka engxoxweni abe nayo ngoLwesithathu eSituation Room ye-CNN.
“Intengo ephansi iyangidida. Bengicabanga ukuthi uzoba mude. Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi kungaba yinkinga yemali noma okunye,” kusho uBolton ehleka.
UBolton wengeze ngokuthi “uyakuqonda kahle ukuthi luyini usongo” kodwa wathi akazi lutho ngecala elibhekene noShahram Poursafi, oneminyaka engu-45, ilungu le-Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) e-Iran edume kabi.
UMnyango Wezobulungiswa wase-US umemezele ngoLwesithathu ukuthi umangalele uPoursafi, oneminyaka engu-45, ngokuhlasela umeluleki wezokuphepha kuzwelonke kaMengameli wangaphambilini uDonald Trump, mhlawumbe ngenhloso yokuziphindiselela ngokubulawa komkhuzi we-IRGC wase-US uQasem Soleimani ngoJanuwari 2020.

UBolton wesula esikhundleni sikaTrump 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 umuntu e-United States ukuze athole u-$300,000 eBolton, ngokusho koMnyango Wezobulungiswa wase-US.
Abantu uPoursafi abaqasha kwavela ukuthi babengabaqondisi be-FBI, abaziwa nangokuthi yi-Confidential Human Resources (CHS).
Njengengxenye yalolu zungu, kuthiwa uPoursafi wasikisela ukuthi i-CHS yenze ukubulala “ngemoto”, wabanika ikheli lehhovisi lowayengumsizi kaTrump, wathi wayenomkhuba wokuhamba yedwa.
Kuthiwa uPoursafi utshele nalabo ababezoba ngababulali ukuthi unomsebenzi wesibili ayebakhokhela wona u-$1 million.
Umthombo ongadalulwanga utshele i-CNN ukuthi "umsebenzi wesibili" uqondise owayenguNobhala Wezwe uMike Pompeo, owasebenza ngesikhathi sokuhlasela kwezindiza okwabulala uSoleimani futhi waphoqa i-Iran ukuba ifune impindiselo e-US, eyayisebenza kuhulumeni kaTrump.
Kuthiwa uPompeo ubelokhu engaphansi kwe-habeas corpus selokhu ashiya isikhundla ngenxa yokusongelwa ngokufa okusolwa ukuthi kuvela e-Iran.
Okhulumela uMnyango Wezangaphandle wase-Iran uNasser Kanani ngoLwesithathu uchithe izambulo ezintsha zoMnyango Wezobulungiswa wase-US “njengezinsolo ezingenangqondo” futhi wakhipha isexwayiso esingacacile egameni likahulumeni wase-Iran sokuthi noma yisiphi isenzo esibhekiswe kubantu base-Iran “sizoba ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.”
Uma etholakala enecala kuzo zombili lezi zinsolo zikahulumeni, uPoursafi ubhekene neminyaka engu-25 ejele kanye nenhlawulo engu-$500,000.
