Trump suggests US would strike again if Iran rebuilt nuclear programme

The Iran-Israel ceasefire is going well, US President Donald Trump said ahead of meeting other world leaders at a Nato summit in The Hague, adding that this was a great victory for everybody, Reuters reports.

Asked if the United States would strike again if Iran rebuilt its nuclear enrichment programme, US President Donald Trump said: “Sure,” Reuters reports.

He insisted that US strikes resulted in the “total obliteration” of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, setting the country’s atomic programme back by “decades”, AFP reports.

“They’re not going to be building bombs for a long time,” Trump said.
