National security adviser Jake Sullivan called on May 4 for the resumption of negotiations with Iran in response to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s warning that Iran has enough material to build five nuclear bombs.

“While one Iranian arm spreads weapons and [terrorist] proxies, the other continues its program to obtain nuclear military capabilities. And make no mistake—Iran will not be satisfied with a single nuclear bomb,” said Gallant in Athens, Greece, on May 4.
