Anthony Blinken, US President s nominee for secretary of state said that when it comes to Iran policy, it is vitally important that the new administration “engage on the takeoff, not the landing, with our allies and with our partners in the region, to include Israel and to include the Gulf countries.”
President Biden is committed to the proposition that Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon,” Blinken said.
“Iran with a nuclear weapon, or on a threshold of having one, would be Iran that is even more dangerous than it already is when it comes to all of the other malicious activities that it has engaged in, whether it is support for terrorism; whether it is fueling and feeding its proxies; whether it is destabilizing the region”, Blinken said
He went on to say that Iran with a nuclear weapon or with the threshold capacity to build one is an Iran that potentially would act with even greater impunity than it already does.
“I think we have an urgent responsibility to do whatever we can to prevent Iran from acquiring the weapon or getting close to the capacity to having the material to break out on short notice,” said Blinken.
