The Trump administration is seeking the "full dismantlement" of Iran's nuclear program as it ramps up a U.S. military campaign in the Middle East, White House national security adviser Mike Waltz said Sunday on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." "Iran has to give up its program in a way that the entire world can see," Waltz said. "It is time for Iran to walk away completely from its desire to have a nuclear weapon, and they will not and cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapons program.
Main Idea: Mike Waltz said the Trump administration wants Iran to fully dismantle its nuclear program while also warning of consequences if talks fail.
Key Points:
A harder US stance on Iran could raise war risks, push up oil and shipping costs, and add pressure to household prices and small businesses.
A tougher push may reduce the chance of an Iranian nuclear weapon, which could lower long-term security risks for US communities and troops.
