White House: Trump is Committed to Preventing the Islamic Republic from Acquiring Nuclear Weapons

On Friday, February 15, the spokesperson for the U.S. National Security Council responded to warnings from Rafael Grossi regarding the significant increase in the Islamic Republic's enriched uranium stockpile, stating that Donald Trump has emphasized the continuation of maximum pressure against the Islamic Republic and is committed to ensuring that this regime never acquires nuclear weapons. Brian Hughes told Voice of America that Trump is also prepared to engage in dialogue with Iran to reach an agreement that resolves all outstanding issues between the two countries. Concurrently, as the Islamic Republic insists on high-level uranium enrichment, Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warned on Friday, February 15, about the severe increase in the Islamic Republic's enriched uranium stockpile, stressing that the opportunity to revive the JCPOA is running out. Despite widespread opposition from the international community, the Iranian government continues to enrich uranium to 60%, and is not far from the 90% enrichment necessary for nuclear weapons production. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, Grossi warned that time is running out for reviving the JCPOA, 'but that does not mean we cannot do it quickly.' According to him, the IAEA has 'all the necessary information,' but decision-making is up to the member states of the agency. The Director General stated that the Iranian government is in the process of increasing its monthly production of 60% enriched uranium sevenfold and is likely to increase its 60% uranium stockpile to 250 kilograms by the time of the agency's quarterly report next month. According to the agency's criteria, this amount of uranium, if enriched further, would be sufficient to produce six nuclear bombs. Rafael Grossi warned that the international community must take this issue 'very seriously' and 'that is why I believe we should not waste any more time.' He expressed hope that the Islamic Republic of Iran would once again be in the spotlight. Grossi's remarks come as Donald Trump, the President of the United States, on Tuesday, February 4, signed an executive order to resume the 'maximum pressure' campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to this directive, maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran will be reinstated, pathways to acquiring nuclear weapons will be blocked, and the Iranian government's destructive influence abroad will be countered. In another section of this directive, it is stated that Donald Trump will not tolerate the Islamic Republic's possession of nuclear weapon capabilities, as well as their sustained support for terrorism, particularly against U.S. interests. The White House: Trump will not allow the Islamic Republic to acquire nuclear weapons. Sebastian Gorka: The Iranian regime, which has destabilized the entire region, cannot have nuclear weapons. Grossi: The Islamic Republic is seeking to 'sevenfold' increase its production of 60% enriched uranium. The U.S.: Under 'maximum pressure,' Iran's oil exports will again reach 100,000 barrels per day. U.S. lawmakers have called for Europe to follow the 'maximum pressure' campaign against the Islamic Republic.
