Bolton says, "we will continue to increase the pressure on the Iranian regime until it abandons its nuclear weapons program and ends its violent activities across the Middle East, including conducting and supporting terrorism around the world." Look at these words carefully. This is a standard US ploy where it accuses its adversary of the same crimes the US is committing. The idea is to misdirect attention away from itself to its adversary. It always tries to make the other side look like the bad guy. It also plays word games, like the US "pulled out of the deal" instead of violated the deal, and the US "manufactures consent" instead of propagandizes.
