President Donald Trump has warned that the United States would bomb Iran again if it restarts uranium enrichment at its previously targeted nuclear sites.
Speaking Monday at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, Mr. Trump said Iran’s recent rhetoric raised concerns. “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 said.
The U.S. launched airstrikes in June on three major Iranian nuclear sites — Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz — following earlier Israeli attacks. American “bunker buster” bombs caused significant damage, though experts believe Iran may still be able to resume its nuclear program.
Iran maintains that its enrichment efforts are lawful under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has upheld a 2003 fatwa against nuclear weapons.
In response, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, “If aggression is repeated, we will not hesitate to react in a more decisive manner… a negotiated solution may work.”
