WASHINGTON (Sputnik)�� The United States should not offer nuclear concessions to�Iran following�Tehran�s military exercise to�destroy a US aircraft carrier and its crew, US Senator Mark Kirk said in�a statement.
�While Iran practiced a military strike today to�kill a US aircraft carrier and its over�5,000 crewmen, the administration keeps offering ever more dangerous nuclear concessions to�Iran in�negotiations,� Kirk�s statement, issued on�Wednesday, read.
Earlier in�the day, a video appeared on�YouTube in�which Iran�s Guard Corps forces practised attacking and destroying a replica of�a Nimitz-class US aircraft carrier.�We should never forget that the Iranian terror state, working with�Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies, has killed more Americans than�the Islamic State,� Kirk concluded.
Tehran's nuclear program has long been a point of�concern for�the United States and the international community. The UN Security Council and a number of�countries have imposed several rounds of�sanctions on�Iran, having accused the country of�developing nuclear weapons.
Iran has repeatedly rejected those claims, stating that its uranium enrichment program is for�peaceful purposes only.
Iran and the P5+1 group, comprising the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom and Germany, have held several rounds of�talks to�reach an agreement on�country's nuclear program in�recent years, but�with limited results. A long-term deal should be reached by�July 2015.
