Trump Warns Iran of Possible Strike After Netanyahu Meeting
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran of a possible future strike if it resumes rebuilding ballistic missile or nuclear weapons programs, following talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida.
Speaking on Monday at his Mar a Lago estate, Trump said the United States could support another major military strike if Iran moves to restore capabilities targeted during a large U.S. operation in June. He added that Washington is closely monitoring Iranian activity related to missile development and nuclear infrastructure.
Trump made the remarks while standing beside Netanyahu, signaling continued alignment between Washington and Jerusalem on Iran related security concerns. The president suggested Tehran may already be attempting to recover from damage inflicted during the June strike, which U.S. officials have described as a significant setback to Iran weapons programs.
In addition to Iran, Trump issued a direct warning to Hamas, saying the group would face severe consequences if it does not disarm. He did not outline specific military steps but stressed that the United States supports Israel efforts to neutralize militant threats tied to Gaza.
Netanyahu echoed concerns about Iran regional activities and reiterated Israel position that Tehran must not be allowed to rebuild strategic weapons capabilities. Israeli officials have long argued that Iran missile and nuclear programs pose a direct threat to Israeli security and broader regional stability.
The comments come amid heightened tensions across the Middle East, with ongoing fighting in Gaza and continued concern over Iran role in supporting armed groups across the region. U.S. defense officials have previously stated that preventing Iran from advancing missile and nuclear systems remains a core objective of American military planning.
Trump Iran strike warning language reflects a continuation of a hard line approach toward Tehran, centered on deterrence and the threat of force. Analysts note that such statements are intended to reinforce U.S. red lines while signaling support for Israeli security priorities.
