Trump Warns of Iranian Missile Threat to the U.S.

During his address to the nation on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump voiced significant concerns about Iran's missile potential, indicating that these missiles would have the capability to reach the territory of the United States, Europe, and practically anywhere else on the globe, were it not for the measures taken by Washington.

Trump emphasized that Iran has been actively expanding its missile arsenal, aiming to produce a large number of missiles with the maximum possible range. "These missiles could soon reach the territory of the U.S., Europe – practically any other place on Earth," he stated, highlighting the threat posed by the Iranian regime.

The U.S. President also revealed that Tehran possessed weaponry that was previously unknown. "They wanted to produce as many missiles as possible, and they did so with the maximum possible range, and they had weapons that no one believed they had. We just found out about it. We destroyed them. We destroyed all of them," Trump underscored, pointing to the successes of American military efforts in combating the Iranian threat.

Trump further noted that the war against Iran is part of a long-standing effort aimed at preventing the country from acquiring nuclear weapons. He stressed that it is unacceptable for terrorists to have access to nuclear arms, as this could lead to catastrophic consequences. "The most brutal and gangster-like regime on Earth would have the ability to freely carry out its acts of terror, coercion, conquest, and mass murder under the cover of a nuclear shield," he declared, emphasizing the danger posed by Iran.

Additionally, Trump criticized previous U.S. presidents, asserting that they should have addressed the issue of the Iranian regime earlier. "Washington acted for the sake of its allies," he noted, emphasizing that the U.S. does not need Iranian oil or other resources but is present in the region to support its partners.

The President also expressed confidence that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened after the conflict concludes. "Iran is effectively destroyed, the hardest part is already behind us, so this should be easy, and in any case, when this conflict ends, the strait will open by itself, it will simply open by itself," he stated, conveying optimism about the restoration of shipping in the region.

Trump indicated that the restoration of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz would lead to lower energy prices. "This will restore flows, and fuel prices will quickly drop," he assured, pointing to positive economic implications for the global market.

At the same time, the U.S. President once again urged allies to take more active measures to regain control over the Strait of Hormuz. "Go to the strait and just take it, protect it, use it for yourselves," he said, emphasizing that "the hardest part is already behind us, so this should be easy." Trump also stressed that countries receiving oil through the Strait of Hormuz "must take care of this passage" and "should cherish it."

In conclusion, as reported by Ukrinform, U.S. President Donald Trump noted that the war with Iran is "drawing to a close" and may last another two to three weeks. These remarks underscore the uncertainty of the situation in the region and the importance of further actions by the international community.
