The US and Israel have launched attacks on Iran to destroy its military capabilities and eliminate the threat of it creating a nuclear weapon.
President Donald Trump said Iran’s ballistic missile capability would soon be able to reach beyond hitting US bases in the Middle East and Europe to strike “our beautiful America”. This, he said, would make it “extraordinarily difficult” for future airstrikes to halt the country’s nuclear weapons programme, which he claimed to have “obliterated” last June.
