U.S. President Donald Trumpâs claim that Iran will soon have a missile that can hit the United States is not backed by U.S. intelligence reports and appears to be exaggerated, according to three sources familiar with intelligence reports, casting doubt on part of his case for a possible attack on the Islamic Republic.
In his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday, Trump began making his case to the American public for why the U.S. could launch strikes against Iran, saying Tehran was âworking on missiles that will soon reachâ the United States.
But there have been no changes, two sources said, to an unclassified 2025 U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency assessment that Iran could take until 2035 to develop a "militarily viable intercontinental ballistic missile" (ICBM) from its existing satellite-lofting space-launch vehicles (SLV).
He did not mention that the US was the sole dissenting veto on six different U.N. Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire since October 7, 2023.
ð Timeline of U.S. Vetoes on Gaza Ceasefire:
⤠October 18, 2023: Vetoed a resolution calling for âhumanitarian pausesâ to allow aid delivery, arguing it did not recognize Israelâs right to self-defense.
⤠December 8, 2023: Vetoed a resolution demanding an âimmediate humanitarian ceasefire,â stating it failed to condemn Hamasâs October 7 attacks.
⤠February 20, 2024: Vetoed an Algerian-drafted resolution for an immediate ceasefire, claiming it would jeopardize sensitive captive negotiations.
⤠November 20, 2024: Vetoed a resolution calling for an âimmediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire,â citing that it did not explicitly link the ceasefire to the immediate release of captives.
⤠June 4, 2025: Vetoed a resolution for a permanent ceasefire, maintaining that any measure must condemn Hamas and ensure the group cannot re-threaten Israel.
⤠September 18, 2025: Vetoed the sixth draft resolution demanding a ceasefire and the lifting of aid restrictions, which the U.S. again criticized for failing to sufficiently condemn Hamas.
Is this the most dangerous lie in US history? ...Over at Cato, Stephen Richer last week wrote an article titled, âTrumpâs Claims About Noncitizens Voting Are False. We Can Prove It.â And, as Reuters reports, âThe conservative Heritage Foundation found 24 instances of noncitizens voting in U.S. elections between 2003 and 2023.â
Thatâs 24 instances total over a period of 20 years! And if you go all the way back to 1982 in the early years that Ronald Reagan was talking about âundocumented alien voter fraud,â youâll discover, as Heritage did, a total of 99 cases in 44 years. Not a single election in modern American history has ever been even slightly affected by a non-citizen voting. None.
