Washington — Former President Donald Trump issued a stark warning regarding the Iran regime, claiming that Tehran is advancing missile programs capable of reaching the United States. The comments come amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and growing international concern over Iran’s military ambitions.

Trump stated that Iran’s arsenal includes missiles “that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas,” emphasizing the potential danger to U.S. forces stationed abroad and to allied nations in the region. While specific details on the missile types or ranges were not disclosed, the warning underscores long-standing fears about Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities.

Analysts note that Iran has repeatedly showcased missile tests over the past years, signaling both domestic strength and strategic deterrence. U.S. officials have warned that further missile development could destabilize the region, complicate diplomatic efforts, and heighten the risk of direct confrontation.

The former president’s statement also reflects broader concerns about the potential escalation of conflict and the need for vigilance regarding Iran’s military programs. International observers are closely monitoring the situation, weighing the implications for both regional security and global stability.
