In a recent State of the Union address, Donald Trump touched upon Iran for the first time, doing so after an hour and a half into his speech. This comes at a time when the largest U.S. military force has been stationed in the region since 2003, prompting speculation about possible military action against Tehran. Trump's remarks included reiterating statements made previously concerning American attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities last June, which he claimed had effectively eliminated the country's nuclear weapons program. However, his comments contrasted with those made by his special envoy, Steve Whitkoff, who indicated that Iran could be just "a week" away from developing a nuclear weapon.
