President Donald Trump announced he will not use nuclear weapons against Iran, saying the U.S. had already “decimated them without it.”
He stressed nuclear arms should never be employed on any nation and warned U.S. forces could neutralise Iranian re‑armament within one day.
Earlier this month Trump threatened Iran on Truth Social, warning “a whole civilization will die tonight” unless a deal was reached.
The statements were made from the Oval Office and reported by Reuters on 24‑04‑2026, with AI‑generated article support.
