Netanyahu to Brief Trump on Iran's Expanding Ballistic Missile Program
(NBC News) Gordon Lubold - Israeli officials have grown increasingly concerned that Iran is expanding production of its ballistic missile program, and are preparing to brief President Trump about options for attacking it again, according to a person with direct knowledge of the plans and four former U.S. officials briefed on the plans. Left unchecked, Iran's production of ballistic missiles could increase to as many as 3,000 per year. "The threat of the missiles is very real, and we weren't able to prevent them all last time," said a former Israeli official. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are to meet later this month in Florida.
