U.S. President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran, stating that any attempt by Tehran to resume development of long-range missile or nuclear weapons programs could trigger a military response. The comments follow reports that Iran may be reconstructing weapons facilities previously targeted in airstrikes.
Speaking during a press briefing, Trump suggested the United States would consider supporting or launching strikes against Iranian sites if evidence emerges that Iran is reinitiating banned military programs. He emphasized that the U.S. remains committed to preventing Iran from acquiring or deploying nuclear-capable systems.
Iran has not confirmed any resumed development, but U.S. intelligence assessments reportedly indicate increased activity at previously dormant sites. Trump characterized these developments as “deeply concerning” and suggested the international community should remain vigilant.
The warning adds to broader regional tensions, particularly amid ongoing conflict in Gaza and Israeli concerns about Iran’s influence and military capabilities. While no immediate action has been taken, Trump’s comments signal a hardening U.S. stance toward Iran’s strategic ambitions.
