Trump, Israeli Defense Minister Threaten Renewed Attack on Iran

President Donald Trump said he would “wipe out” Iran’s nuclear program if Tehran continued its enrichment program. A day earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened to assassinate the Iranian Supreme Leader. 

Trump made the threat to Iran while referencing a statement from the Iranian Foreign Minister that Tehran would continue its nuclear enrichment program. “Iran’s been sending out bad signals, I’ll tell you. For a country that just got wiped out, they’ve been sending very bad signals, very nasty signals. And they shouldn’t be doing that,” Trump said during a press conference in Scotland with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. 

“We wiped out their nuclear possibilities. They can start again. If they do, we’ll wipe it out faster than you can wave your finger at it.” He added, “We will do that gladly, openly and gladly.”
