The United States has seen no evidence that Iran is working on a nuclear weapons program, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy Vipin Narang said on Tuesday. The State Department said earlier in the week that the United States is not taking part in direct talks with Iran on the return to the nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). In 2015, Iran signed the JCPOA with China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. The agreement committed Iran to scaling back its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. The United States unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in 2018 but then resumed talks with Iran in a bid to revive the deal. The talks have since hit a deadlock. Iran has repeatedly said its nuclear program is solely intended for peaceful purposes.

US Has Seen No Signs of Nuclear Activity in Iran, Pentagon Official States
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Last week, the US State Department announced it would be working with the International Atomic Energy Agency to get more transparency from Iran on its nuclear activity amid concerns that it is close to developing nuclear weapons.
The United States has seen no evidence that
Iran is working on a nuclear weapons program, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy Vipin Narang said on Tuesday.
"Iran has not made a decision to build a nuclear weapons facility. It is administration policy to not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. We're monitoring enrichment activity very, very closely. But administration policy remains same: we will not allow Iran to develop nuclear," Narang said.
The State Department said earlier in the week that the United States is not taking part in direct talks with Iran on the return to the nuclear agreement, formally known as the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
In 2015, Iran signed the JCPOA with China, France, Germany,
Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. The agreement committed Iran to scaling back its nuclear program in exchange for
sanctions relief. The United States unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in 2018 but then resumed talks with Iran in a bid to revive the deal. The talks have since hit a deadlock.
Iran has repeatedly said its nuclear program is solely intended for peaceful purposes.
