Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton has highlighted the economic potential of the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) but cautioned that peace and security in the region will be jeopardized until there is a regime change in Iran.

Bolton criticized the US administration's handling of international issues, stating that President Donald Trump lacks a coherent regional strategy and frequently addresses matters in isolation. He emphasized that the current leadership in Iran is detrimental to stability, as Iran's regime poses significant security risks to commercial transit through key maritime choke points.
Bolton further criticized Trump's approach to Iran, noting that the president's speech at the UN General Assembly showcased a lack of long-term planning and a disjointed approach to the issue, primarily aimed at appealing to US voters ahead of the upcoming elections.
