Donald Trump appeared before Congress on Tuesday night and, in the presence of representatives, senators and civil and military officials, discussed the achievements of his administration over the past year. He reiterated that he would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. An hour before the ceremony, senior Democratic representatives of Congress, after meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, expressed deep concern about “another war in the Middle East” and called on Mr. Trump to first convince the American people of what he has in mind. A spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry has described Donald Trump’s statements about Iran as “lies.”
