Trump says Iran ‘just can’t have a nuclear weapon’

There are plenty of good reasons to withhold trusting the rogue nation of Iran. Not only are they an enemy of Israel, which Israel tends to be a stabilizing force in the Middle East, but Iran has been labeled by the United States Congress as a state sponsor of terrorism. Iran also provides support to terrorist groups around the world, according to the AJC.

President Trump is keenly aware of this, and it’s much of the reason why he’s taking steps to bring Iran to the negotiating table. Once Iran’s oil sales drop, he’s counting on that getting their attention.

“We don’t want to be tough on Iran, we don’t want to be tough on anybody but they just can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump told CNBC.
