"I don't need it": Trump rules out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he does not consider it necessary to resort to the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, amid reports of pressure from Israel to launch a nuclear strike.

"I don't need to. We have already wiped out 90% of their capability, so I don't need to," Trump replied, when asked about the possibility of a nuclear strike against the Persian nation.

At the same time, he left open the possibility of intensifying military actions against Iran, asserting that his administration will evaluate various options and act based on what it deems "best" for the country.

Trump’s statements come after Tucker Carlson disseminated reports, citing unidentified sources—warning that Washington could be just days away from launching a nuclear strike against Iranian territory. According to Carlson, this possibility would be a response to pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the potential target would be Mount Pickaxe, a facility where Israel suspects Tehran has resumed uranium enrichment activities.
