Trump ignores Iran's missile threat in State of Union speech
The Jerusalem Post
|February 26, 2026
Defense-minded Israelis were watching US President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech avidly, for mentions of the word “Iran,” as well as, more specifically, the words “ballistic missiles.”
They were hugely disappointed.True, Trump did utter the words “missiles” a few times and raised the specter of Iran someday being able to target the United States, with it already able to target its Middle East bases and parts of Europe. This was better than nothing at all.
Nevertheless, even that mention was in the context of the nuclear threat, to which the majority of the speech was dedicated.
It was clearer than ever that if the Islamic Republic truly makes an offer to effectively end its nuclear program, or comes pretty close to that goal, Trump will cut a deal, even if the ballistic missile issue is not fully dealt with.
