Trump invokes 9/11 to justify Iran war, says 'no other option'

At a Pentagon 9/11 anniversary event, President Trump framed the ongoing war with Iran as a necessary response to terrorism, invoking 9/11 to argue there is 'no other option.' This rhetorical escalation signals a hardening of the administration's public justification for the conflict, though it does not announce new military action. The claim is unverified beyond the report, and the strategic intent behind the rhetoric remains unclear.
