Bolton: Trump to Put &#039;Maximum Pressure on Iran&#039; The Trump administration is beginning to exert \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d on the Tehran regime, US National Security Advisor John Bolton told a newspaper Sunday evening, in an effort to force the rogue regime to curb its nuclear weapons program and support for terrorism across the Middle East. Bolton said the restoration of American economic sanctions on Iran signaled the administration\u2019s determination to force Tehran to abandon support for its ballistic weapons program and support for terror groups. \u201cThe president is determined to exert maximum pressure on Iran, not just because of their nuclear weapons program, but because of their continuing support for terrorism, their ballistic missile program, their malign activities across the Middle East,\u201d Said Bolton. US Will Allow Iran\u2019s Civilian Nuclear Projects in Arak, Bushehr &amp; Fordow to Continue The US will allow civilian nuclear projects at three sites - Arak, Bushehr and Fordow - to continue \u201cunder the strictest scrutiny,\u201d to &quot;ensure transparency and maintain constraints&quot; on Iran, the State Department said. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo mentioned the waiver during the press briefing earlier in the day, but the exact locations were clarified later by the State Department. \u201cWhat we have authorized is very narrow, very limited, very time-limited as well, but important nonetheless that these non-proliferation projects are not things that are taking place without some ability to see what\u2019s going on,\u201d Pompeo said. \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty complicated area, the non-proliferation issue.
