Or is it to change the regime altogether? Piers Morgan puts these questions to Ambassador John Bolton, before speaking to his panel of Palestinian-American journalist Omar Baddar, US special forces veteran and host of Speak The Truth, Matt Tardio, Israeli-American journalist Emily Schrader and The Grayzone commentator Aaron Mate. Piers also speaks to Virginia Democrat and Senate Intelligence Committee member, Senator Mark Warner and Tehran University’s Professor Mohammad Marandi. Learn more about your ad choices.
