According to Yonhap News Agency, Trump made the remarks at a White House event on lowering medical costs when asked whether he would use nuclear weapons on Iran. “No,” he said. “We’ve already completely devastated them with conventional means, without nuclear weapons, so why would I use nuclear weapons?” Trump said. “I will not use nuclear weapons. No one should ever use nuclear weapons.” He also rebuked the reporter who asked the question, saying, “Why would you ask such a stupid question?” On April 7, Trump wrote on social media platform Truth Social, referring to Iran, “Tonight an entire civilization will disappear and it will never be reversible.”* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-04-24 06:03:16
  • Daejeon O-World Says It Will Pause Photos and Videos of Its Wolfdog
    Daejeon O-World Says It Will Pause Photos and Videos of Its Wolfdog Daejeon O-World said it will stop releasing photos and videos of its “wolfdog” for the time being. In a post on social media on the 23rd, O-World thanked the public for their concern and interest in the animal’s condition, saying the wolfdog “is quickly regaining stability.” The park said it decided to halt photo and video filming because the animal needs “a calm and quiet environment above all else” to fully recover. O-World said it will provide an update once the wolfdog is stable enough to return to its original home and live comfortably. It also asked the public to watch over the animal with “warm hearts” so it can return to a normal routine. The announcement follows a recent post showing the wolfdog eating after it returned nine days after going missing. Some online commenters criticized the park for placing food on the ground instead of in a bowl. O-World said that if food is provided in a bowl, the animal may react sensitively to the sound and avoid eating. It said eating from the ground is a natural feeding method for wolves and has been used in the past as well.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-04-23 16:39:14

  • USFK commander says wartime OPCON transfer conditions targeted by early 2029
    USFK commander says wartime OPCON transfer conditions targeted by early 2029 Xavier Brunson, commander of the Combined Forces Command and U.S. Forces Korea, said on April 22 (local time) that the allies have submitted a roadmap to the Defense Department aimed at meeting the conditions for transferring wartime operational control before the second quarter of fiscal 2029, which corresponds to the first quarter of 2029 in South Korea. According to Yonhap News Agency, Brunson made the remarks while testifying before the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, responding to a question from committee Chairman Mike Rogers, a Republican, about preparations for the OPCON transfer. The U.S. government’s fiscal 2029 runs from Oct. 1, 2028, to Sept. 30, 2029. The second quarter of fiscal 2029 covers January through March 2029. Brunson’s comments suggest a timetable to satisfy the conditions for the transfer no later than the first quarter of 2029. President Lee Jae-myung has said he aims to achieve the transfer during his term. The first quarter of 2029 overlaps with the end of President Donald Trump’s term, which runs through Jan. 20 that year, and the start of the next U.S. president’s term. The U.S. side may have drafted the roadmap with the possibility in mind that meeting the conditions could carry over into the next administration. Brunson said the allies would continue pursuing a conditions-based transfer and ensure all requirements are met. 2026-04-23 06:39:19
  • White House: No 3- to 5-Day Deadline Set for Iran Proposal
    White House: No 3- to 5-Day Deadline Set for Iran Proposal The White House said Tuesday local time that President Donald Trump has not set a specific deadline for receiving a “unified proposal” from Iran. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters, “Contrary to some reports I saw today, the president has not set a firm deadline to receive Iran’s proposal.” Trump also told Fox News that a “three-to-five-day deadline” was not true, adding that he was not rushing talks with Iran. The comments followed a report Monday by Axios, citing anonymous officials, that Trump was willing to give Iran about three to five more days of a ceasefire period. Leavitt said there were “clearly many divisions” inside Iran, calling it a fight between pragmatists and hard-liners, and said the president wants a single, unified response. She said that while a ceasefire remains in place on military and physical strikes as the U.S. waits, the “Grand Wrath” operation continues, as does a maritime blockade of ships traveling to and from Iranian ports. She added that the president is satisfied with the situation while awaiting Iran’s response. 2026-04-23 06:06:16
