Trump: "I will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. All options on the table"
US President Donald Trump stated in his State of the Union address that he keeps 'all options on the table' vis-à-vis Iran, reiterating that it has always been US policy not to allow Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons.
Trump claimed that Iran would like to "make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words, 'We will never build a nuclear weapon'". He also claimed that Tehran "has already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases abroad and is working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America."
