The Iranian authorities found themselves in an extremely difficult situation after the assassination of nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, they probably have not yet decided how to act in this situation, the former Assistant to US President Donald Trump for National Security John Bolton told CNN.

When asked what retaliatory steps the Iranian leadership can take in light of what happened, he noted that the Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, was killed. Attacks have been carried out on some of their critical nuclear and ballistic missile targets.

This shows that those behind the attacks can end up in Iran almost anywhere, Bolton added.
