President Donald Trump has ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, stating that such weapons “should never be allowed to be used by anybody.”
The comment, reported by BRICS News, comes as the United States enters nearly two months of a conventional military campaign against Iran, with the administration insisting that its objectives can be achieved without resorting to nuclear arms.
Speaking during ongoing operations, Trump emphasized that the US military has already significantly weakened Iranian capabilities using conventional forces. “A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody,” he said, underscoring his position that the conflict does not require nuclear escalation.
He added that US forces have “decimated” key Iranian military assets since the start of hostilities.
The current conflict, led by the United States, has involved air and naval operations targeting Iranian military infrastructure, including facilities linked to missile systems and strategic installations.
According to the administration, the primary objective is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to neutralize threats to regional stability and international shipping routes.
Trump has maintained that the campaign is focused on deterrence and containment rather than regime change.
By publicly ruling out nuclear weapons use, the president appears to be signaling both restraint and confidence in America’s conventional military superiority. Defense officials have echoed the sentiment that existing capabilities are sufficient to meet operational goals.
