Nuclear enrichment and weaponization by Iran are red lines for the United States, President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff told CNBC on Wednesday, adding that he was hopeful for a comprehensive peace agreement with Tehran.

"We can't have weaponization," he said. "That will destabilize the entire region. Everyone will then need a bomb and we just can't have that."
