Harris says Iran is America's 'greatest adversary,' as Mideast war weighs on U.S. priorities

Democratic presidential nominee and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris walks to board Air Force Two as she departs for New York, at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, U.S., October 7, 2024.

Speaking with "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker, Harris was asked which nation she considers "to be our greatest adversary."

"I think there's an obvious one in mind, which is Iran," Harris replied. "Iran has American blood on their hands. This attack on Israel, 200 ballistic missiles."

"What we need to do to ensure that Iran never achieves the ability to be a nuclear power, that is one of my highest priorities," she added.

Whitaker followed up, asking, "If Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take military action?"
