Trump: Backs New Strikes on Iran if it Expands Missile Building

Former US President Donald Trump stated that his administration would support further Israeli strikes on Iran if Tehran continues to expand its ballistic missile program or rejects a new agreement on its nuclear program. The statements were made during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida. Trump warned that the US would “eliminate very quickly” any Iranian rearmament effort. Iran's military advisor, Ali Shamkhani, responded that Iran's defensive capabilities are not limitable and that any attack would be met with “immediate, harsh retaliation.” The situation remains tense, despite the ceasefire declared in June, with intense discussion about the future of diplomatic efforts.
