U.S. President Donald Trump has declared he will only accept the total dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program.

A shocking escalation in the Middle East: After a ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels landed just 75 meters from Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a fiery statement blaming Iran directly. Trump warned that any future Houthi attacks would be treated as Iranian acts of war, promising “great force” in response. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel will strike back — not just once, but with major retaliation. With both Washington and Tel Aviv pointing fingers at Tehran, fears of a broader regional war are rising.
