The restored maximum pressure campaign on Iran will continue if it does not want a new nuclear deal, the State Department said, while reiterating Washington’s commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
“If the Iranian regime does not want a deal, the president is clear, Iran will remain under the restored maximum pressure campaign,” a State Department spokesperson told VOA Persian on Monday, referring to President Donald Trump’s willingness to discuss a new deal with Iran.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that he seeks a “Verified Nuclear Peace Agreement, which will let Iran peacefully grow and prosper” in return for ensuring that the Islamic Republic “cannot have a Nuclear Weapon.”
