Iran could be a “matter of weeks” away from having enough material for producing a nuclear weapon if it continues to violate the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal, said Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Blinken told NBC News that the United States would be again willing to comply with the 2015 deal, which President Donald Trump pulled the United States from in 2018, calling it “a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made.”
