Tensions Rise Over Iran
Trump’s warning to Iran came after reports suggested that the country might be rebuilding its nuclear program and ballistic missile arsenal, which was previously targeted by US and Israeli strikes earlier this year. “If they don’t stop building up their capabilities, we’ll have no choice but to eradicate it quickly,” Trump said.
