Following President Donald Trump's State of the Union address, he outlined his justification for a potential military strike on Iran, branding Tehran as the "largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world" and asserting his commitment to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Trump's remarks emphasized Iran’s support for armed groups, the killing of protestors in January, and its missile and nuclear programs as significant threats to both the region and the United States.

In his speech, Trump claimed that Iran has developed missiles capable of threatening Europe and American bases abroad, and suggested that the country is progressing towards developing missiles that could reach the U.S. He referred to U.S. airstrikes in June that he stated had dismantled Iran's nuclear weapons program, but he asserted that Tehran had resumed its ambitions without providing supporting details for his claims.

The article concludes by referencing U.S. military intelligence assessments regarding Iran's missile program, highlighting that Iran possesses launch units capable of deploying space technologies, which further complicates the landscape of international security regarding Iran's military aspirations. The article raises critical questions about the reliability of Trump's assertions and the broader implications for U.S.-Iran relations and regional stability.
