The United States will keep increasing pressure on Iranian regime until it abandons its pursuit of nuclear weapons and ceases its violent activities in the Middle East, John Bolton, the White House national security adviser, said on Monday (July 8).
“We will continue to increase the pressure on the Iranian regime until it abandons its nuclear weapons program and ends its violent activities across the Middle East, including conducting and supporting terrorism around the world,” Bolton said in a speech.
Meanwhile, US Vice President Mike Pence said that the United States is prepared to protect US personnel and citizens in the Middle East as tensions build with Iran over its nuclear program.
Pence said Washington would continue to pressure Iran with sanctions and said President Donald Trump would “never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.”
Trump called off air strikes against Iran last month minutes before impact after Iran shot down a US unmanned drone.
