US Demands Full Dismantlement of Iran's Nuclear Program

The Trump administration, through National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, has reiterated its demand for Iran to completely dismantle its nuclear program, stating that failure to do so will result in consequences. Waltz emphasized that the U.S. is not interested in a diplomatic agreement similar to those made under previous administrations; instead, they seek full transparency in Iran’s disarmament. He warned that if Iran obtains nuclear weapons, it could trigger an arms race in the Middle East, which poses a significant threat to U.S. national security. Additionally, President Trump recently expressed a willingness to negotiate with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei but has faced rejection from Iranian officials. While U.S. intelligence suggests Iran is not currently pursuing a weapons program, it is engaging in activities that could allow them to develop one in the future. The situation continues to escalate, with Iran's leadership maintaining a hardline stance against negotiations with the U.S.
