"The Trump administration will embark on an "unprecedented" pressure campaign against Iran meant to fundamentally change its foreign policy, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday.
Delivering his first major foreign policy address as top diplomat at the Heritage Foundation, a Washington think tank, Pompeo listed 12 sweeping and uncompromising conditions for a new nuclear deal with Tehran after President Donald Trump withdrew from an existing one earlier this month.
“The list is long” because Iran’s activities are bold in scope, the secretary said. “We didn’t create the list – they did.”
Among the demands are a complete end to Iran’s enrichment of uranium, currently allowed at a low level; a “full and public accounting” to the UN of its past experimentation and research on nuclear weapons technology (which Israel revealed through the publication of a trove of Iranian atomic files earlier this month, but which Iran has repeatedly denied); open-ended access for UN inspectors to all sites across Iran at any time, including its military facilities; and closure of its ballistic missile program, which is critical to the delivery of nuclear warheads but which Iran has claimed is defensive in nature."
