"But Israeli officials have been quoted in local media expressing concern about Iran rebuilding its supply of long-range missiles capable of striking Israel. "Now I hear that Iran is trying to build up again," Trump told reporters soon after Netanyahu arrived at his Mar-a-Lago estate. "And if they are, we're going to have to knock them down. We'll knock them down. We'll knock the hell out of them. But hopefully that's not happening.""
"Iran has insisted that it is no longer enriching uranium at any site in the country, trying to signal to the West that it remains open to potential negotiations over its atomic program. But Netanyahu was expected to discuss with Trump the need to potentially take new military action against Tehran just months after launching a 12-day war on Iran."
President Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago for wide-ranging talks. Trump warned Iran against reconstituting its nuclear program and threatened military strikes if Iran rebuilds nuclear or long-range missile capabilities. Trump said U.S. strikes in June had "completely and fully obliterated" Tehran's nuclear capabilities, while Israeli officials expressed concern about Iran restoring long-range missiles capable of striking Israel. Iran stated it is no longer enriching uranium at any site and signaled openness to negotiations. Netanyahu was expected to press for potential new military action. The administration also allocated resources to South American drug interdiction and advancing the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.
