Trump says US would back strikes against Iran's missile programme
"Now I hear that Iran is trying to build up again, and if they are, we're going to have to knock them down, Trump told reporters. We'll knock them down. We'll knock the hell out of them. But hopefully that's not happening. The comments came as Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump said that"
"Trump said that the US and Israel have been extremely victorious against their enemies, referring to the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, and the strikes against Iran in June. When asked whether the US would back an Israeli attack against Iran targeting Tehran's missile programme, Trump said, If they will continue with the missiles, yes; the nuclear, fast. Okay, one will be yes, absolutely. The other is: We'll do it immediately. More to come"
The United States threatened further military action if Iran rebuilds its nuclear programme or missile capacity. The possibility of follow-up strikes to June air strikes that damaged three Iranian nuclear facilities was raised. A warning stated that if Iran attempts to build up again, the facilities and capabilities would be knocked down forcefully. The US hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago and described US-Israeli operations as extremely victorious, citing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon and recent strikes against Iran. The US indicated it would back Israeli attacks targeting Tehran's missile programme and would act immediately against nuclear threats.
