The Trump government calls on Iran to give up its entire nuclear program or to present the consequences, National security adviser Mike Waltz said Sunday.
Waltz said it was time for Iran to “walk away completely” from his pursuit to nuclear weapons, so that a “full dismantling” was insisted during an appearance on CBS “Face the Nation.”
“This is not a kind of, you know, a kind of tit-by-tat that we had under the Obama government or Biden,” said Waltz. “This is the full program. Specify it or there will be consequences.”
Wals did not specify with what kind of consequences could be confronted, although he said the president Donald Trump Keep ‘all options on the table’, including diplomacy.

Waltz said the Trump government wants that Iran to give up his nuclear program “In a way that can see the whole world.”
“If (Iran) had nuclear weapons, the entire middle -old would explode in a weapon race,” he said. “That is completely unacceptable for our national security. I will not comment on what the back and forth has been, but Iran is in the worst place where it has been from his own national security since 1979.”
Tensions between Tehran and Washington have been high since the proxies of Iran, Hamas and Hezbollahhas launched attacks on Israel in recent years. Iran exchanged Israel with Israel twice last year.
Trump has threatened the American military action if Iran is not negotiating a new agreement on its nuclear program.
