President Donald Trump reiterated on Friday that he does not want Iran to have nuclear weapons, just ahead of the start of a second round of talks between the US and Iran this weekend.
" I'm for stopping Iran, quite simply, from having a nuclear weapon. They can't have a nuclear weapon. I want Iran to be great, prosperous and formidable. They can't have a nuclear weapon, and if they do have a nuclear weapon, you're going to be very unhappy ," Trump told reporters when asked if he would be open to allowing Iran to maintain a nuclear program.
Officials in the Trump administration have resisted imposing tougher lines on Iran, with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling on Tehran to completely dismantle its entire nuclear program, not just the weapons component.
Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who represented the US last weekend in indirect negotiations with Iran, has said that any final agreement would require Iran to halt and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weapons program.
Trump, who recently warned that the US would use Israeli-assisted military strikes against Iranian nuclear sites if Tehran fails to reach a deal with its interlocutors, in 2018 withdrew the US from the Iran deal that was negotiated by the Obama administration.
Witkoff is expected to hold talks with Iran, which will be mediated by Omani officials, on Saturday in Rome.
