YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Democrat Congresswoman from New Hampshire Maggie Goodlander said that President Trump has not been clear about his objectives surrounding a potential strike on Iran and has not been building consensus in Congress for action in the country.

President Donald Trump claimed that Iran is working to reconstitute its nuclear program even as it negotiates with Washington, adding to speculation that he’s preparing for a fresh round of military strikes in the coming days.

Iranian officials are “again pursuing their sinister ambitions” after US airstrikes devastated the country’s nuclear program last year, Trump said in his State of the Union address on Tuesday.

“They want to make a deal, but we haven’t heard those secret words: ‘We will never have a nuclear weapon,’” he added. “We wiped it out, and they want to start all over again.”

Iran has long argued that its nuclear program is for purely peaceful purposes. In a social media post earlier Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said his country will “under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon.”

Trump has paired his rhetoric with a massive military buildup in the Middle East over the last few weeks. His envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner are set for a new round of talks with Iranian officials in Geneva on Thursday.
