Tehran challenges Trump to present proof that 32,000 Iranians were killed in recent protests

President Trump is focused on Iran’s nuclear program, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees a more immediate threat from Tehran’s rapid rebuilding of its ability to launch missiles at Israel.

Iran is not seeking a military confrontation with the United States, but the key question is what Tehran is willing to concede to avoid one Iran is unlikely to relinquish its ballistic missile

DUBAI, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Iran's missile capabilities are its red line and are not a subject to be negotiated, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader said on Wednesday, as Tehran and Washington eye a new round of talks to avert conflict.

Aircraft carriers… massive floating cities, home to thousands of sailors, jets, and cutting-edge weapons. For decades, they’ve been the backbone of U.S. naval power. But now, a new threat is emerging that could change everything: hypersonic missiles.

The notion that Iran only has these various ballistic missiles for defense or maintaining deterrence is contradicted by many of its actions since 2015.

The U.S. demanded that Tehran restrict its missile program as part of a deal to avert new clashes, but it has refused so far.
