Nuclear enrichment and weaponization are US red lines on Iran, Witkoff tells CNBC

Nuclear enrichment and weaponization by Iran are red lines for the United States, US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff tells CNBC, adding that he is hopeful for a comprehensive peace agreement with Tehran.

“We can’t have weaponization,” he says. “That will destabilize the entire region. Everyone will then need a bomb and we just can’t have that.”

“The conversation with Iran is going to be how do we rebuild a better civil nuclear program for you that is non-enrichable,” Witkoff adds, without elaborating.
