Iran was only days away from acquiring a nuclear weapon from North Korea before the United States launched its military campaign against Tehran, former US national security adviser John Bolton said. Bolton, who served during US President Donald Trump’s first term, said the American strikes under Operation Epic Fury caused major damage to Iran’s nuclear program but did not completely eliminate it.
Speaking to The Sun’s Harry Cole on March 11, 2026, Bolton said the operation inflicted “very significant damage” on Iran’s nuclear capabilities. However, he warned that Tehran could still obtain a nuclear device quickly through its ties with North Korea.
Bolton said Iran could potentially secure a weapon through a financial transaction with Pyongyang.

I'm not a hard rocker but I love the intro to that song. It rocks.
I should probably know the music on this, but I don't. Who is that? Love the sound.
Everclear?
(Not an expert, but I had a thought about a video on MTV many years ago. No idea what the particular song is.)
Foo Fighters, Everlong
That's it--I knew there was an Ever involved. Thanks.
