Trump Warns of Iran's Advancing Missile Threat in State of the Union Address
# Trump Sounds Alarm Over Iran's Missile Threat, Fears of Global Conflict Rise
## Former President Warns Iran is Advancing Its Missile Program
Former President Donald Trump issued a stark warning regarding Iran's missile development during a State of the Union address on February 25. He stated that Iran had already established missile capabilities that pose threats to Europe and U.S. military installations abroad, and is now reportedly progressing towards creating missiles that could reach the United States.
Trump emphasized the urgent need to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. He stated, "never allow Tehran to develop a nuclear weapon." This declaration highlights the escalating tensions surrounding Iran's military ambitions amid rising concerns over the potential for a broader conflict.
Iranian officials have responded vigorously. Esmaeil Baghaei argued on X, stating, "Everything they claim about Iran's nuclear program, Iranian ballistic missiles, and the number of casualties during the January unrest is nothing but a repetition of great lies." This reflects the Iranian leadership's attempt to counter Trump's assertions as tensions escalate.
The rhetoric surrounding these developments raises alarms not just in the United States, but globally, as nations watch closely and prepare for possible repercussions if diplomatic efforts falter.
