Tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to escalate, with US officials warning that Iran is developing missiles capable of striking the US and working to rebuild its nuclear programme. According to GB News, the US Secretary of State said the Islamic Republic is working to rebuild its nuclear programme, though the extent and progress of these efforts remain unclear. Meanwhile, according to GB News, Marco Rubio issued a stark warning that Iran is developing missiles capable of striking the US, but the specific capabilities and timeline of these missiles are not publicly confirmed.

Donald Trump has claimed that American bombings have dramatically limited Iran's military capacity, but the veracity of this assertion is disputed. Multiple reports indicate that Iran's underground missile cities have made it possible for them to defy Trump, with images from inside showing fortresses buried in granite mountains that are said to protect enormous weapons arsenals and hidden missile launch ports.
