"The Magic Words Have Not Been Said": Trump Issues Blunt Warning to Iran During State of the Union

In a State of the Union address that provided no shortage of stormy moments, the "Iran threat" managed to achieve the near-impossible: a rare moment of bipartisan unity in a fractured Washington.

President Trump dedicated a significant portion of his speech to the threat posed by Tehran, labeling it the "world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism." With a resolute tone, the President delivered a clear ultimatum: "I will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear bomb."

Missiles Already Targeting Europe

Trump did not stop at general warnings, specifically highlighting the advancement of the Iranian regime's ballistic missile program. According to the President, Iranian missiles are already within range of all of Europe and are being developed with the intent to reach the United States mainland.

The President referenced recent U.S. military activity under "Operation Midnight Hammer," but cautioned that despite the pressure, Iran appears to be moving "full steam ahead" with its previous projects and shows no signs of retreating from its nuclear ambitions.

"I Have Yet to Hear the Magic Words"

Despite the military rhetoric, Trump clarified that he still prefers a diplomatic path, provided the initiative comes from the other side. "I am trying to reach an arrangement through diplomatic means, but our determination must not be doubted," the President said, adding with a characteristic jab: "I have yet to hear the magic words from them, 'We want a deal.'"

A Rare Moment of Unity on Capitol Hill

The real drama occurred in the chamber: when the President declared that Iran would never obtain a nuclear weapon, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle rose for a thunderous standing ovation. Even some of his fiercest critics from the Democratic party, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and other high-ranking officials, joined the applause, presenting a united American front against the Iranian threat.
