In his 2026 State of the Union address, President Donald Trump reiterated strong warnings about Iran’s nuclear programme and missile development.
Amid a large build-up of US naval and air power in the Middle East, Trump said the US was negotiating with Iran but Tehran was not relinquishing its nuclear ambitions and continued to threaten America.
“They’ve already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas, and they’re working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America,” Trump said.
“My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy, but … I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror … to have a nuclear weapon,” he added.
His remarks came ahead of planned talks in Geneva between US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and senior Iranian officials.
