President Donald Trump on Wednesday pledged that Iran “will never have a nuclear weapon” as long as he is President of the United States just hours after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the United States is set to trigger the “snapback” of all United Nations sanctions against Iran.

“Today I’m directing the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to notify the U.N. Security Council that the United States intends to restore virtually all of the previously-suspended United Nations sanctions on Iran, it’s a snapback, not uncommon,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday.
