Trump Accuses Iran of Restarting 'Sinister Ambitions' to Develop Nuclear Weapons

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : As the U.S. amasses warships, bombers, and fighter jets within striking distance of Iran, President Donald Trump said Tuesday night that, despite the U.S. and Israel's strikes that he said "totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program last year, he believes Iran intends to restart its nuclear program and is "working to build" missiles that could reach the U.S. [time-brightcove not-tgx="true"] During his State of the Union address, Trump said Iran had ignored his warnings not to return to nuclear enrichment and weapons development after he ordered U.S. bombers and a submarine to send deep-penetrating bombs and cruise missiles at Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
31% : Those strikes, launched in June, put the U.S. in direct conflict with Iran, openly joining Israel in trying to destroy Iran's infrastructure for enriching uranium that could be used in nuclear weapons development.
