The United States may strike Iran again if it decides to resume its nuclear program. Such an attack would be swift, according to a statement by US President Donald Trump during a conversation with journalists.
Trump reminded that the US managed to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities during the strike that took place in June.
"If they start again, we'll wipe them out faster than you can wave your finger at it. If we have to do that, we'll do that gladly. Openly and gladly," the American leader emphasized.
He added that Iran is currently "sending very bad signals, very nasty signals". But Tehran should not have done that.
"They've been talking about things, they should have been talking about. In the interview on a recent show, the foreign minister said things he should not have been talking about, should not have been saying," Trump said.
US strikes on Iran
At the end of June, US forces joined Israel's operation against Iranian nuclear facilities.
The US targeted three nuclear sites in Iran — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. To carry out the strikes, they used special bunker-busting bombs, as Iran had hidden its nuclear facilities deep underground.
US President Donald Trump stated that Iran’s nuclear program was destroyed following the attack.
At the same time, media reports suggested that Iran may have managed to remove enriched uranium from the sites — a material essential for producing nuclear weapons.
