US seeks full dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program, Trump’s advisor says

iranintl – The Trump administration is seeking full dismantlement of Iranian nuclear program in a way that the “entire world can see”, White House National Security Advisor Michael Waltz told CBS News on Sunday.

His comments came two days after Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, talked of the US president’s intention to resolve Iran’s nuclear dispute diplomatically.

In a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei earlier this month, Trump “roughly said, I’m a president of peace. That’s what I want. There’s no reason for us to do this militarily,” according to Witkoff.

“We should talk. We should clear up the misconceptions. We should create a verification program so that nobody worries about weaponization of your nuclear material,” he said in an interview released Friday on The Tucker Carlson Show.

He also said Trump believes the issue “has a real possibility of being solved diplomatically” and “acknowledged that he’s open to an opportunity to clean it all up with Iran.”
