Trump issues chilling Iran missile warning as secret intel whispers swirl | 27 Feb 2026 | President Donald Trump warned this week that Iran is manufacturing weapons that could soon strike U.S. soil, though his pitch for what should come next has left many with more questions than answers. Tehran is “working on missiles that will soon reach” the US, Trump said during his State of the Union address on Tuesday. He also vowed to prevent Iran, the “number one sponsor of terrorism,” from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Two aircraft carrier strike groups — representing around 15,000 soldiers, over a dozen ships, hundreds of planes and likely some submarines — are being used by Trump to get Iran to capitulate to his denuclearization demands. In addition, many thousands of troops and scores of military assets are on bases throughout the region, though there are some reports of evacuations.
