The US State Department on Tuesday once again pointed out the Trump administration’s firm position on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, stressing that “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon” as tensions with Israel continue to rise.
Speaking at a press briefing, State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce noted that President Donald Trump has maintained a consistent policy since taking office to prevent Iran from developing nuclear capabilities.
“Now with the conflict between Iran and Israel, President Trump is also clear that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon…The fact that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon is clear. As the white house reminds us, since taking office, President Trump has clearly stated that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon…,” said Bruce.
President Trump has never wavered in his stance that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon — a pledge he has made repeatedly, both in office and on the campaign trail, according to White House release.
