Scott Perry, a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives, told Newsmax that the Islamic Republic should not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. He added that Donald Trump, the U.S. president, is seeking to end the conflict as quickly as possible.

The remarks followed the Trump administration’s positions on preventing the Islamic Republic from obtaining nuclear weapons. Trump has repeatedly stated that the Islamic Republic should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons and emphasized the necessity of resolving the issue of Iran’s nuclear program.
