'The only thing worse than the Iran that exists now is Iran with nuclear weapons.'
President Joe Biden said in an interview aired Wednesday that former President Donald Trump made a"gigantic mistake" withdrawing the US from the Iran nuclear deal and said Iran was closer now to acquiring a nuclear weapon.
"The only thing worse than the Iran that exists now is Iran with nuclear weapons," Biden said in an interview with Israel's Channel 12 News that was taped ahead of a four-day trip to Israel and Saudi Arabia. The President's comments come amid rising tensions with Iran and as Biden faces increasing pressure from key Middle East allies to outline a comprehensive plan to constrain Iran, as hopes for reviving the 2015 nuclear deal appear to be fading.
