Trump: Iran "Working to Build Missiles that Will Soon Reach the U.S."
(AP) President Donald Trump, in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, said: "As president, I will make peace wherever I can, but I will never hesitate to confront threats to America wherever we must. That's why in a breakthrough operation last June, the United States military obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program with an attack on Iranian soil known as Operation Midnight Hammer." "For decades, it has been the policy of the United States never to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Since they seized control of that proud nation 47 years ago, the regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but terrorism and death and hate. They've killed and maimed thousands of American service members...with what's called roadside bombs." "This is some terrible people. They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas, and they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, and in particular nuclear weapons, yet they continue." "They want to start it all over again and are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions....I will never allow the world's No. 1 sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon."
