(Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Mike Pompeo demanded Iran halt all uranium enrichment, stop its ballistic-missile program and give nuclear inspectors access to the entire country, in a speech detailing the U.S. approach to the country now that President Donald Trump has withdrawn from a 2015 nuclear deal.

The demands were among the 12 “basic requirements” that the U.S. will seek if Iran wants relief from a punishing sanctions regime Trump plans to reimpose, Pompeo said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation in Washington.

Pompeo said Iran will continue to feel the “sting of sanctions” if its doesn’t change the “unacceptable and unproductive path it has chosen. These will be the strongest sanctions in history by the time we are complete.”

The administration billed the speech, Pompeo’s first policy address as secretary of state, as an articulation of Trump’s new strategy toward Iran less than a month after he ignored the pleas of U.S. allies and withdrew from the nuclear accord. It essentially demanded Iran’s total submission without offering anything in return aside from the hazy prospect of sanctions relief at some future date.

European nations as well as Russia and China are vowing to stand by the deal and trying to insulate their companies from the promised sanctions even though that’s an uphill effort.

The demands are so intrusive and broad that Iran is almost certain to reject them. The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty gives Iran the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. The requirement that nuclear inspectors get universal access appears to include military sites -- long a red line for the regime.

Pompeo also demands Iran end its support for Middle East terrorist groups, withdraw its forces from Syria, stop backing Houthi rebels in Yemen and “cease its threatening behavior against its neighbors.”

“Relief from sanctions will come only when we see tangible, demonstrated, and sustained shifts in Tehran’s policies,” Pompeo said. “We acknowledge Iran’s right to defend its people. But not its actions which jeopardize the world’s citizens.”
