Secretary of State Marco Rubio was on CBS’s “Face the Nation” with host Margaret Brennan on Sunday to discuss policy regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
.
“Can you clarify what the US policy is here? Is the bottom line that Iran cannot enrich any uranium, even if it is at low levels for civilian purposes? Do they need to fully dismantle the program?” Brennan asked.
.
“If you are able to enrich at any level, you now are basically able to enrich at weapons grade very quickly,” Rubio said.
.
“The end goal here is simple. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. And the President’s preference because he doesn’t like war, the President’s preference is to achieve that through a peaceful negotiation,” Rubio continued.
.
“He’s offered that route and that’s one we hope the Iranians will take, but he’s been very clear. Iran is never gonna have the capability, they are never gonna have a nuclear weapon. It’s not going to happen,” Rubio continued.
