Mattis: Trump Admin. Already Working with Allies to Prevent Iran from Acquiring Nukes


(Worthy News) – Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Wednesday the Trump administration is working with U.S. allies on a measure to prevent Iran from procuring a nuclear weapon, less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump torpedoed the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal.

Testifying before the defense subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Mattis said Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear accord on Tuesday because he was unable to confirm Tehran’s compliance to its provisions, which exchanged sanctions relief for a pause on the regime’s nuclear program.

“We have walked away from the JCPOA because we feel that it was inadequate for the long-term effort and this is something that was probably noted by the Senate several years ago when the Senate did not endorse it as a treaty,” Mattis said, referring to the deal’s official name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
