WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is ready to respond if Iran decides to resume its nuclear programme, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pomp said on Monday in a speech outlining demands on Tehran to change its behaviour.

"Our demands on Iran are not unreasonable: give up your program," Pompeo said in a speech outlining demands on Iran. "Should they choose to go back, should they begin to enrich, we are fully prepared to respond to that as well," Pompeo said, declining to detail what the response could be.
