The US president has indicated he would support Israeli military action if Tehran rebuilds its nuclear program<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump warned the US could carry out further military strikes against Iran if it attempts to rebuild its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. He made the remarks to journalists alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Monday.
\nIn June, the US and Israel carried out coordinated airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, claiming they were intended to prevent Iran from advancing its nuclear program. Tehran has vehemently denied seeking nuclear weapons and condemned the strikes as unprovoked violations of its sovereignty. Iranian officials have stated that the damaged facilities will be rebuilt and uranium enrichment will continue.
\n\u201cIf it\u2019s confirmed, they know the consequences, and the consequences will be very powerful, maybe more powerful than the last time,\u201d Trump said on Monday. \u201cWe\u2019ll knock them down. We\u2019ll knock the hell out of them. But hopefully that\u2019s not happening.\u201d
\nThe US president indicated he would \u201cabsolutely\u201d support Israeli military action against Iran\u2019s missile program, saying the US would act \u201cimmediately\u201d against any nuclear advances.<\/p>\n
.@POTUS on Iran: “I hope they’re not trying to build up again, because if they are, we’re going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup.

\u201cWe know exactly where they\u2019re going, what they\u2019re doing, and I hope they\u2019re not doing it, because we don\u2019t want to waste the fuel on a B-2 \u2013 it\u2019s a 37-hour trip both ways,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

US and Iran trade barbs over nuclear talks<\/p>\n
Trump noted it would be \u201cmuch smarter\u201d for Tehran to \u201cmake a deal\u201d with Washington, claiming that Iran missed an opportunity \u201cthe last time, before we went through a big attack on them.\u201d
\nOmani-mediated US-Iran negotiations were suspended earlier this year after Washington joined Israel\u2019s 12-day bombing campaign. In October, the EU and UK reimposed sanctions on Iran, which had been lifted as part of the 2015 nuclear deal that the US withdrew from during Trump\u2019s first term in office. Tehran has since said it is no longer bound by the 2015 agreement.
\nIran has insisted it remains open to reaching a deal with the US, but only if Washington stops setting what Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi previously described as \u201cimpossible and unacceptable preconditions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
