Trump Highlights Iran Threat and Potential Consequences in State of the Union Address

Ahead of his State of the Union address, President Trump emphasized the threat posed by Iran's nuclear and missile programs, accusing Tehran of supporting militant groups and repressing protesters. He warned of serious consequences if Iran fails to agree to a deal, while expressing a preference for negotiation. The speech coincided with a significant U.S. military buildup in the Middle East amid ongoing tensions and upcoming nuclear talks in Geneva. Advisers had urged Trump to focus on domestic issues, but Iran remained central to his message.
