Trump rules out using nuclear weapons in the ongoing US-Iran war
President Trump stated Thursday in the Oval Office that the US would not use nuclear weapons against Iran, calling the question 'stupid' and saying conventional strikes had already 'decimated' Iran. Trump also claimed he, not Iran, is keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed, and posted on Truth Social ordering the Navy to shoot boats planting mines there. Peace talks between Washington and Tehran have reportedly stalled.
