President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly warned Iran that it must terminate all of its nuclear weapons development programs or face severe consequences.
The warning comes after President Trump recently began negotiations with Iran to halt their development of nuclear weapons.
Ambassador and Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently relayed Trump’s demands from Iran regarding their nuclear programs to reach a peaceful agreement.
“Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program,” said Ambassador Witkoff. “It is imperative for the world that we create a tough, fair deal that will endure, and that is what President Trump has asked me to do.”
US and Iran tensions have recently escalated after the change of guard at the White House.
The Trump administration has opted for a “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran, contrasting with former President Joe Biden’s conciliatory approach.
Conservative commentators and subject matter experts have lauded Trump’s approach.
United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) recently published an article in which former Ambassador Mark D. Wallace and Governor Jeb Bush commend Trump for reversing President Biden’s Iran strategy.
“President Trump has shown strong leadership on Iran, presenting a stark choice for Tehran: verifiably dismantle your nuclear program—or have it dismantled for you,” reads the article.
Trump has repeatedly warned that Iran should acquiesce to the US or they will suffer economic and military retaliation.
"I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious," stated Trump.
Recently, Trump went as far as threatening Iran with “bombing” if their nuclear development programs continue.
Such bombing could be imminent, as the US military is reinforcing its firepower in the Middle East by relocating more Naval strike groups to the area.
Iran Watch, an organization devoted to exposing Iran’s weapons development programs, recently reported Iran is dangerously close to obtaining nuclear weapons.
Iran Watch claimed Iran has “accomplished over 90% of the work needed to bring natural uranium to weapon-grade.”
