<p>National security adviser Mike Waltz on &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; reacted to a news report from last week that indicated Israel is likely to strike Iran&#8217;s nuclear program by saying that President Donald Trump will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.</p>
<p>The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/02/12/israel-iran-us-intelligence/">reported</a> last week that Israel &#8220;is likely to attempt a strike on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities in the first six months of 2025.&#8221;</p>
<p>Waltz was asked about what the U.S. involvement would be in a strike on Iran, given that Israel might need U.S. assistance with destroying Iran&#8217;s underground facilities.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can speak to what the president has repeatedly said and that is Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,&#8221; Waltz said. &#8220;That not only would be existential for Israel, I think it would be existential for the entire world, because it could kick off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;How we get there, I&#8217;m not going to get into the details here, but the president has also expressed a willingness to take whatever action is necessary,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;All options are on the table, but also to talk to Iran as well if they want to give up their entire program and not play games as we&#8217;ve seen Iran do in the past in prior negotiations.&#8221;</p>

<p>He concluded, &#8220;I&#8217;ll promise you this: President Trump is absolutely serious, deadly serious, when he says Iran can never have a nuke, and certainly not on President Trump&#8217;s watch; they are an irrational actor that we cannot allow to have their finger on the button.&#8221;</p>
