U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that he has no intention of using nuclear weapons against Iran, which he said the United States is at war with.
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.”
