The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that his administration will not allow the Iranian regime to develop or possess nuclear weapons, amid the ongoing military offensive against strategic targets in that country.
"We will not allow them to have nuclear weapons," the leader stated while justifying the military operation launched in recent hours alongside Israel.
He stated that a regime that supports terrorist organizations and has long-range missiles would pose a direct threat to the United States and its allies if it were to gain access to such weaponry.
Trump defended the military campaign as a necessary action to protect national security and to prevent Iran from being able to "extort the world with its malevolent will," referring to the potential use of nuclear capability as a tool for geopolitical pressure.
The president emphasized that the United States has “the most powerful military the world has ever seen” and assured that the operation will continue until the strategic objectives outlined by Washington are achieved.
He also reiterated that his country will act to ensure that future generations do not face a nuclear threat from Tehran.
The offensive comes after the failure of previous negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program and has heightened tensions in the Middle East, with diplomatic and economic repercussions on a global scale.
As military operations continue, the White House insists that preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons is a non-negotiable red line for the current administration.
