Pressure mounts on Iran as Trump warns of consequences and protests grow.

President Donald Trump issued renewed warnings to Iran following talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, threatening severe consequences if Tehran attempts to rebuild its nuclear or missile capabilities — as Iran’s leadership responded with its own sharp rhetoric and unrest spread inside the country. Speaking Monday after meeting with Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said the United States was closely monitoring reports that Iran may be attempting to reconstruct nuclear facilities damaged by U.S. strikes earlier this year. While those allegations remain unconfirmed, Trump warned that any such effort would prompt a swift response. “If it’s confirmed, look, there will be consequences,” Trump said. “The consequences will be very powerful — maybe more powerful than last time.” Trump also cautioned Iran against replenishing its ballistic missile program, saying the U.S. would not allow Tehran to restore military capabilities that threaten regional stability. “I hope they are not trying to build up again, because if they are, we’re going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup,” he said.
