Trump says Iran almost had missiles capable reaching U.S.

President Trump stated Monday that the U.S. and Israel launched military operations in Iran because the regime ignored prior warnings and attempted to rebuild its nuclear program. Speaking at the White House, the president characterized the strikes as a "last best chance" to eliminate a nuclear threat that he claimed had become intolerable. Trump further justified the escalation by asserting that Iran was close to developing ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States.
