Iran's weakened position could lead it to pursue nuclear weapon, Biden national security adviser warns

The White House is concerned that Iran’s weakened position will prompt the regime to pursue a nuclear weapon and is coordinating with the Trump team on this concern.

Israeli strikes on Iranian facilities, including missile factories and air defenses, have reduced Iran’s conventional military capabilities, Sullivan told CNN on Sunday. 

"What I found over the last four years is that when good things happen, like Iran being weaker than it was before, there are frequently bad things lurking around the corner," Sullivan said.
