Michael Waltz explains why Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and outlines how the Trump administration's maximum pressure strategy is designed to weaken Iran's economy, disrupt its terrorist proxies, and strengthen America's allies. He also discusses NATO burden-sharing, America's engagement with European leaders, and the importance of peace through strength.

During this conversation, Waltz argues that renewed economic pressure on Iran will once again limit funding for groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and other Iranian-backed militias. He praises Israel's recent actions against the Iranian terror network and explains why preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons remains a critical national security priority for both the United States and its allies.

He also addresses President Trump's conversations with European leaders, ongoing NATO defense spending commitments, and why America's allies should take greater responsibility for their own security while working alongside the United States.
