Let's bring in ABC News contributor, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East, Mick Malroy
for more. Hi Mick. So the vice president says he's extremely hopeful Iran will agree not to develop nuclear weapons.
How is that commitment the administration is looking for different than those Iran has already made.
>> So Dan, of course there is a fatwa that says Iran will not get a nuclear weapon issued by the Supreme Leader and under their system that's the biggest commitment they're willing to give. But I do think the United States going to want that restated in thisou and they're going to want details of how we're going to be confident that that's not the case which includes turning over the highlyenriched uranium dismantling their nuclear program and allowing anytime anywhere inspections so we can be sure that there's not some clandestine effort uh to do that.
But that is what I think the US would ultimately want and that would be uh different than the past.
Mick, Iran's accusing the US of violating the ceasefire after the US said it attacked Iranian missile sites and mine laying boats. Do you agree?
>> I don't. I mean, Central Command said that they were in the process of launching missiles at our forces and in the process of laying mines in the straight of Armoose, which I believe uh would would would necessitate immediate action. That's why they called it defensive. Uh Iran's going to say that's not the case. of course. Uh but I think central command is is the is the source that we should rely on.
>> Could laying mines be considered a ceasefire violation?
>> Uh yes, Diane, that's a good point. Laying mines would be considered a ceasefire violation and also would be pretty perplexing considering Iran is expected to go into anou potentially in a few days in which they would have to reopen the straight of Hermoose.
So it's very disconcerning that they would be laying mines if that was their actual intent.
If they really did intend to open the straight of Hermoose, that is inconsistent activity.
And Mick, in just a few hours, President Trump plans to hold a cabinet meeting at the White House. What are you watching for there?
>> Well, obviously they want to talk about contingencies. One, if they actually get thisou, for example, how do we actually recover this highly enriched uranium?
There's around 1,000 pounds. it's buried underneath tons of rubble. But they also want to talk about contingencies if this doesn't happen. For example, if Iran does not agree to the terms and the US feels that the only way to compel them to do so is to restart the air war,
which has many connotations that would go with it. Iran's obviously going to a counterattack and likely not against just against US forces, but all against also against our allies in the region.
So these need to be talked through about what the plan would be for either scenario.
scenario. I hope there's not too much discussion in public because if we're close to the end, we wouldn't want anything that was said uh to derail the last part of these negotiations.
Nick Moy, thank
