US aims for total destruction of Iran beyond oil and nuclear concerns, expert says

A foreign affairs expert, Waiel Awwad, has stated that the United States' objective regarding Iran extends beyond oil and nuclear issues to the country's total destruction, according to reports from sandiegosun.com and bignewsnetwork.com.

Both sources reported on October 24, 2026, that Awwad emphasized the US aims to eliminate Iran entirely, not limiting its focus to economic or nuclear concerns.

This perspective highlights a broader and more severe interpretation of US foreign policy goals towards Iran, as presented by the expert.

The reports do not provide additional details on how this objective might be pursued or the responses from US officials or Iran.
