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. That is its weaponization and its strategic missiles program."
Waltz's comments came after President Trump vowed to hold Iran responsible for any future attacks carried out by the Yemen-based Houthi rebel group, which has carried out strikes on military and commercial ships in the Red Sea since Israel declared war on Hamas in Gaza. The effectiveness of their strikes has been mixed but disrupts what the Trump administration considers a critical trade route through the Suez Canal. Both Hamas and the Houthis, designated terrorist organizations by the U.S., are backed by Iran.
Speaking about Iran's nuclear program and echoing some of Mr. Trump's previous threats, Waltz on Sunday warned Iran: "Give it up, or there will be consequences." He emphasized that the U.S. seeks to dismantle the "full program."
