On February 25 local time, U.S. Vice President Pence stated that the United States has found evidence indicating that Iran is attempting to rebuild its nuclear program following the U.S.-led attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in June.

The day before, during a State of the Union address, U.S. President Trump claimed, “Iran has developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our overseas bases, and is working on missiles that can soon reach the United States.” On the 25th, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated that all U.S. accusations regarding Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and so on are merely repeating a “great lie”.
