Iran warns of ‘severe’ response in wake of Trump’s new strikes threat

AI Summary

short article 2 min

In December 2025, Iran warned of a harsh response to any aggression after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened further military action if Tehran rebuilds its nuclear or missile programs. The warning from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian followed a meeting between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where Trump supported potential strikes on Iran's nuclear and missile facilities. Trump stated the U.S. would act if Iran attempts to rebuild these programs, a stance that expands previous U.S. focus beyond just nuclear capabilities. These comments raise concerns about renewed conflict months after a war in June that resulted in significant casualties in both Iran and Israel. Iran maintains its nuclear activities are for civilian purposes and has refused to negotiate over its missile program.
