US official says Iran must never obtain nuclear weapons
US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said on Sunday that Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon, calling it an “existential threat,” during remarks at the ADIPEC energy conference in Abu Dhabi.
Burgum said Washington hopes dialogue can lead to “a world where we don’t have to worry about that,” while reaffirming the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf region to US interests.
He added that the United States supports reliable and affordable energy sources and is encouraging allies to trade in critical minerals rather than rely on adversaries.
