Trump Rules Out Nuclear Strike on Iran, Says He Has Already Defeated Them Without Nukes

Gate News message, April 23 — When asked whether he would use nuclear weapons against Iran on Thursday, April 24, U.S. President Donald Trump called it a "stupid question" and stated he would not use nuclear weapons against Iran, adding that he has already "defeated them without using nuclear weapons."

Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said: "No one should ever be allowed to use nuclear weapons." Trump had previously threatened Iran, saying that unless a deal was reached, "the entire civilization will be destroyed tonight and can never be restored." However, just before Trump's stated deadline, he announced an extension of the ceasefire.
