And we have only strengthened them in the Biden administration in terms of the number and types of sanctions that have been put in place. And certainly, the question of Iran's nuclear program and the threat it poses will be on the agenda, as will the threat that Iran poses to regional stability, and the threat it poses to US forces in the region," the US National Security Adviser said in response.

Tehran insists that the Islamic Resistance movements in the region are independent entities that act on their own rather than taking orders from Tehran.
