Summary
In his State of the Union address, Donald Trump condemned Iran's nuclear ambitions, calling them 'sinister'. He renewed a pledge to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear arms and threatened to take action if necessary.
Iranian officials compared Trump to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. Separately, Senator Marco Rubio said the U.S. designated Iran as a state sponsor of wrongful detention and briefed lawmakers on Iran ahead of the speech.
