BREAKING: Trump Suggests Nuclear Weapons Unnecessary After Alleged Total Victory

According to the Anadolu Agency, US President Donald Trump has ruled out any use of nuclear weapons in the escalating US-Israeli standoff with Iran, firmly stating that such weapons must never be used, even as tensions between the sides continue to simmer and diplomatic talks stall.

Responding sharply to a question about whether he would consider deploying a nuclear weapon in the conflict, Trump dismissed the idea and defended the current military approach.

“Why do I need it? Why would a stupid question like that be asked? Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we’ve totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it?” Trump said in response to a reporter’s question on whether he would use a doomsday weapon on Iran.

He went further to underline his broader position on nuclear weapons, making clear he sees no place for them in modern warfare. “No, I wouldn’t use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody,” he added.

The comments come at a tense moment, with ceasefire arrangements between the US, Israel, and Iran still holding but under strain. Efforts to revive stalled negotiations have so far failed to produce a breakthrough, even as international pressure builds to prevent further escalation

Trump said he supported giving diplomacy more time, suggesting that Iran’s internal situation is complicating talks.

“They want to make a deal. We have been speaking to them, but they don’t even know who is leading the country. They’re in turmoil,” he said.

Iran, however, strongly rejected that portrayal. President Masoud Pezeshkian pushed back against claims of political division, insisting the country remains unified despite external pressure.

“There are no hardliners or moderates in Iran. We are all Iranians and revolutionaries,” Pezeshkian said on the US social media company X’s platform.

He stressed that national unity remains firm, describing it as “a solid unity like steel between the people and the state.”

Pezeshkian also issued a warning to Washington and its allies, saying Tehran would respond decisively to any aggression, vowing that Iran would make “the aggressor regret its actions.”

Meanwhile, Trump acknowledged that the conflict is having wider global consequences, including pressure on energy prices, but suggested the impact would not last long as the US pushes for a resolution.
