President Donald Trump said he would not allow Iran to restart its nuclear program after Tehran suspended cooperation with international nuclear inspectors.

Speaking to reporters on July 4 aboard Air Force One, the president said last month’s airstrikes on Iran’s three uranium enrichment sites were a “great success” that he believes has permanently crippled the country’s nuclear capabilities. He did acknowledge, however, that the program could in theory be restarted elsewhere.
