Former national security adviser John Bolton on Sunday warned that President Trump’s actions in the war against Iran could spark a nuclear arms race.

“Whatever deal President Trump makes with Iran, his often-contradictory decisions during the conflict have laid the groundwork for more nuclear proliferation in the Middle East,” Bolton said in an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal published Sunday.

“If the race for nuclear weapons widens and accelerates, the region will become more unstable, heightening risks for the entire world,” he added, in his piece titled “A Bad Iran Deal Could Spark a Nuclear Arms Race.”

The war in Iran, which has strained relations with U.S. allies and stressed the global economy, recently passed the three-month mark, with recent polling finding many Americans are against the fighting.

In a recent interview, Trump said Iran had not agreed to end the war because they were “strong” and “proud,” but stated that they had “no choice” but to come to a deal.
