In his State of the Union address to Congress, US President Donald Trump said Iran remains “the world’s number one sponsor of terrorism” and vowed it would never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. “My preference is to resolve this issue through diplomacy,” Trump said, adding, “But I will never allow” Iran to possess such arms.
In the record-long speech, Trump declared that the United States had entered a “golden age,” claiming his administration had reversed economic decline, high inflation, and border challenges within a year. He described the country’s recovery as a historic comeback and said, “We will never go back.”
