Trump says US doesn't need nuclear weapons against Iran

korrespondent.net (Russian) —

US President Donald Trump said Washington does not need to use nuclear weapons against Iran, claiming the country has already suffered significant losses from previous American strikes. In a Wednesday interview with Politico, Trump stated, "I don't need that. We've already broken them down 90%." He declined to specify further escalation plans, saying he would choose actions best serving US interests, while acknowledging oil price concerns but defending the conflict decision. The New York Times reported CENTCOM prepared new strike plans, though Trump later told Financial Times he currently has no such plans. Iranian state TV has published nuclear attack survival instructions for civilians.
