Regarding the Iranian regime’s nuclear ambitions, Senator Duncan Hunter, senior Republican member of the US Senate Armed Forces Committee and the presidential candidate, said: In our policies as presidential candidates, either Democrat or Republican, we won’t let the Iranian regime acquire nuclear weapon.

Referring to the IRGC provocative measure against US warships in Persian Gulf, he said: The US warships’ response to the IRGC Navy should be taken a real warning that the US Navy is quite ready to confront such adventurisms.

Regarding talks with the Iranian regime, Senator Hunter said: Talking with the Iranian regime that is involved in terrorism would mean encouraging the regime for its work.
