The United States has an “urgent” responsibility to ensure that Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon, said state secretary nominee Antony Blinken, adding that the upcoming Biden administration is “a long way” from executing its plan to return to the Iran nuclear deal.
At his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Blinken said: “An Iran with a nuclear weapon … would be an Iran that will be even more dangerous than it already is.”
“We are a long way from there,” said Antony Blinken, US President-elect Joe Biden’s choice for secretary of state, when asked about the next administration’s plan to return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Asserting that there was a need to include regional allies in any future nuclear talks, he said: “We have an urgent responsibility to do what we can.”
