“I would say he should be very concerned,” Trump said, responding to an NBC News reporter's question about whether Iran's leader should be concerned right now.
Trump repeated that the Iranian nuclear program was destroyed as a result of American attacks on nuclear installations in Iran in June last year. He emphasized, however, that the Iranians would like to return to this facility and are thinking about establishing a new installation in another part of the country. — We found out about it. I said, 'If you do this, we will do something very bad to you,'” he said.

The US has strengthened its presence in the Middle East
The US has strengthened its military presence in the Middle East in recent weeks. Iran announced that in the event of aggression it would respond by attacking American military installations in the region.
On Tuesday, the US armed forces shot down an Iranian Shahed-139 drone there, which – according to US military officials – “aggressively” approached the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, located in neutral waters of the Arabian Sea.
