US President Donald Trump has ruled out the use of a Nuclear Strike in the ongoing conflict with Iran, emphasizing that the United States will rely on conventional military strength instead. His remarks came during a media briefing at the White House, where he addressed questions about the possibility of escalating the war.
Trump made it clear that a Nuclear Strike is not under consideration. He stated that such weapons should never be used by any country. He also highlighted that the US military has already caused significant damage to Iran’s capabilities without resorting to nuclear options. According to Trump, conventional operations have been effective in weakening Iran’s defense systems.
He claimed that Iran’s navy, air force, and air defense systems have been largely neutralized. Trump added that even if Iran used the recent two-week ceasefire to rebuild some of its military strength, the US could respond quickly. He said any such buildup could be eliminated within a day if necessary.
When asked about the possibility of a peace agreement, Trump said he is not in a hurry. He stressed that he prefers a strong and lasting deal rather than a quick settlement. He repeated that decisions around a Nuclear Strike are not part of his strategy and that long-term stability remains the goal.
Trump also shared his views on his social media platform, saying that any deal with Iran would only happen when it is suitable for the United States. He noted that he feels no pressure to rush negotiations and believes time is on America’s side. At the same time, he suggested that Iran may be under more urgency, indicating that “the clock is ticking.”
The situation remains tense after the collapse of recent peace talks. Iran has also demonstrated its control over the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route. Reports showed Iranian commandos taking action on a cargo vessel, raising concerns about regional security and trade disruptions.
