Nuclear talks between Iran and the United States are expected to continue this week, although progress remains elusive.
President Trump has insisted that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on his watch, and is demanding that it essentially disband its entire program or else face military repercussions from the United States and Israel.
To underline the point, the Trump administration has pressured Iran to shutter its nuclear program by repeatedly issuing threats, moving missile defense systems from Asia to the Middle East, and building up strike forces in the Indian Ocean within bombing range of Iran.
Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, but its progress in uranium enrichment creates the broad potential for it to weaponize.
