Iranian nuclear weapons, a weak Iran could build a nuclear bomb… Why America is on edge, find out what the NSA said Sullivan – A weak Iran could seek a nuclear weapon The White House NSA Jake Sullivan warns the Trump team
Iran has weakened in the Middle East
Iran has become completely isolated in the Middle East in the past few months. Earlier, Iran had the support of proxy forces in many countries. However, the ever-changing situation has greatly affected Iran. Iran’s allies include Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. At present, Israel has almost eliminated Hamas and Hezbollah. Meanwhile, Assad’s government was removed by Syrian rebels. This dealt Iran a blow to its regional influence.
Israel is harming Iran
Sullivan said that Israeli attacks on Iranian military targets, including missile factories and air defenses, reduced Tehran’s conventional military capabilities. He said: “It is not surprising that there are voices (in Iran) saying: Maybe we need to build nuclear weapons now… Maybe we need to rethink our nuclear doctrine.”
Iran is capable of making a nuclear bomb
Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful, but it has expanded uranium enrichment since Trump withdrew from the agreement between Tehran and world powers during his 2017-2021 presidency, which included easing sanctions. In return, sanctions were imposed on Iranian nuclear activities. Sullivan said there was a danger that Iran would abandon its promise not to make nuclear weapons.
NSA Sullivan gives information to Trump team
“It’s a risk we’re trying to be careful about at the moment. It’s a risk I’m personally briefing the next team on,” he said. He also said that he consulted with Israel, an ally of the United States. Trump is scheduled to take office on January 20. In such a situation, there is a possibility that Iran will return to its strict policy towards Iran by increasing sanctions on the oil industry.
Trump has a great opportunity to deal with Iran
Sullivan said Trump would have an opportunity to continue diplomacy with Tehran given Iran’s “weak position.” “Maybe they will agree to it this time given Iran’s situation and actually get a nuclear agreement that would limit Iran’s nuclear ambitions in the long term,” he said.
How does America threaten the Iranian nuclear bomb?
America fears that if Iran develops a nuclear bomb, this could pose a serious threat not only to Washington, but also to American interests in the region. Israel, America’s closest friend, views the Iranian nuclear bomb as an existential threat. America also fears that Iran will use its nuclear bomb against American forces deployed in the Middle East. Apart from this, after making the nuclear bomb, Iran will also have a weapon to exert pressure, as North Korea does.
