Witkoff says Iran must end enrichment, will end talks if not productive

"They have stated back that they don’t want (a nuclear bomb),” US special envoy Steve Witkoff told Breitbart News. “If that’s how they feel, then their enrichment facilities have to be dismantled. They cannot have centrifuges."

"An enrichment program can never exist in the state of Iran ever again. That’s our red line. No enrichment. That means dismantlement," he added.

“That means dismantlement, it means no weaponization, and it means that Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan—those are their three enrichment facilities—have to be dismantled.”

“(If talks) are not productive on Sunday, then they won’t continue and we’ll have to take a different route,” he added.

Witkoff said the United States is not going to negotiate a deal with Iran similar to the Obama-era accord known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which Witkoff described as too lenient on Tehran.

The real estate mogul turned ambassador said Iran would be “unwise” to “test President Trump,” adding that Iran needed to accede to US demands: “They have no choice”.
