Donald Trump, president of the United States, on Monday, 9 Shahrivar, rejected the use of nuclear weapons against the Islamic Republic and said that, given the military failure of the Iranian regime, there is no reason for such an action.

In response to a question from a reporter at the White House, President Trump said: “I don’t usually say things like that, but the answer is yes. I have ruled it out. There is no reason for it.”

The U.S. president, emphasizing the military situation of the Islamic Republic, added: “They have been completely defeated militarily.” He called the question about using nuclear weapons after the military defeat of the Iranian regime “stupid.”

President Trump had previously emphasized that the Islamic Republic would never obtain nuclear weapons, and said that U.S. military pressure, a naval blockade, and economic actions have severely weakened Iran’s regime.
