Biden Says U.S. Won't Wait 'Forever' For Iran On Nuclear Deal
Newsy
Iran announced last week that it has enriched uranium to 60% purity, a technical step away from weapons-grade quality.
President Joe Biden said Thursday that the United States is "not going to wait forever" for Iran to rejoin a dormant nuclear deal, a day after saying he'd be willing to use force as a last resort against Tehran if necessary.
President Biden made the comments at a news conference after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid following one-on-one talks in which they discussed Iran's rapidly progressing nuclear program.
"We've laid out for the leadership of Iran what we're willing to accept in order to get back into the JCPOA. We're waiting for their response. When that will come, I'm not certain," President Biden said, using an acronym for the Iran nuclear deal. "But we're not going to wait forever."
