Mike Pence: We Must Make Sure That Israel Has the Resources to ‘Once and for All’ Eliminate Iran’s Nuclear Program

‘Now, if the Iranians want to stand down, I think the president‘s made it clear he‘s willing to enter into negotiations’

EXCERPT:

PENCE: "Well, I think we need to make sure that Israel has the resources and the support they need, whatever shape that might take, to once and for all eliminate and destroy the nuclear enrichment program within Iran. It was early in this administration some of us had concerns, I expressed them, that the president's envoy and negotiators were talking about some limited enrichment program. I have held the view that others have that there can be no nuclear enrichment program whatsoever. It needs to be dismantled or destroyed. Now, if the Iranians want to stand down, I think the president's made it clear he's willing to enter into negotiations. But there can be no nuclear program of any kind, no enrichment program of any kind. And at the end of the day, if Israel needs our help to ensure that the Iranian nuclear program is destroyed once and for all, the United States of America needs to be prepared to do it, because this is about protecting our most cherished ally. But, remember, those missiles that Iran has developed over the years can reach Europe today.”
