U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran has already developed missiles capable of targeting European and U.S. military bases abroad, and is now working on new missiles that can reach the United States.
Musavat.com reports that he spoke about this in his address to Congress.
Trump emphasized that he wants to resolve the situation diplomatically.
"They want to make a deal, but we did not hear those words: 'We will never have nuclear weapons.' I know one thing: I will never allow the world's leading sponsor of terrorism to obtain nuclear weapons. I cannot allow this," the U.S. President said.
Recently, the U.S. has deployed significant military forces to the Iranian coast and simultaneously begun withdrawing its troops from bases in the Middle East. Against this backdrop, Tehran and Washington are conducting talks regarding Iran's nuclear program.
Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff stated that the next meeting within the framework of the talks will be held on February 26 in Geneva.
