US President Donald Trump on Thursday ruled out striking Iran with a nuclear weapon, after his previous threats to completely destroy Iranian civilisation.
Trump's Statement on Nuclear Weapons
"No, I wouldn't use it," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we've, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it?" he asked. Trump also added that nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody.
The president's comments came as a shift from earlier rhetoric where he had threatened to annihilate Iran. His latest stance emphasizes a preference for conventional warfare over nuclear escalation.
Trump's remarks have sparked discussions among international leaders and analysts about the future of US-Iran relations and nuclear non-proliferation efforts.
