Trump Issues Stark Warning on Iran’s Missile Program and Nuclear Ambitions

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, saying Tehran is pursuing missiles that could threaten Europe and U.S. interests while restarting its nuclear ambitions. Speaking during the state of the union address, Trump said Iran has developed missiles capable of threatening U.S. bases overseas and is working on long-range systems that could reach the United States, and stressed he will “never allow” Iran to obtain nuclear weapons as talks continue in Geneva. Iran’s foreign ministry denied the claims, calling Washington’s allegations “big lies” and maintaining its nuclear program is for peaceful use.
