U.S. Spent $12 Million Guarding Bolton and O'Brien From Iran Threats
- Documents show $12 million spent protecting Bolton and O'Brien from Iran threats for nearly a year
- Protection involved 24/7 security details, domestic and foreign travel coverage
- Threats emerged after Soleimani assassination; Iran targeting former Trump officials
- Costs could be far higher as threats are ongoing and coverage periods in documents are limited
- Iran attempts bolder, accelerating intimidation tactics like kidnapping and assassinations
