Trump’s address Tuesday provided few if any clues as to his ultimate intentions. Iran has amassed a worrisome amount of highly enriched uranium for which there is no other use but a nuclear weapon, although it has repeatedly said it has no intention of producing one. A number of Republicans and Democrats have said that military pressure on Iran can be useful if it leads to a nuclear deal. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency says more than 7,000 people were killed during the demonstrations. “If there is political will on all sides, I believe the deal can be reached as soon as possible.”
