President Donald Trump on Thursday ruled out using a nuclear weapon in the war with Iran.
He told reporters in the Oval Office that the United States has already greatly weakened the Islamic Republic with conventional weapons, declaring that “a nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody.”
PBS NewsHour correspondent Liz Landers asked the president whether nuclear weapons might be used in the war, which the president said was a “stupid” question.
“Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we’ve totally and in a very conventional way decimated them without it?” Trump said. “I wouldn’t use it.”
Two days ago, Trump extended a two-week ceasefire with Tehran, calling the Iranian leadership “seriously fractured.” He also cited a request from Pakistan’s prime minister as another reason for extending the ceasefire.
In an April 17 Truth Social post, Trump said that Iran had agreed to surrender enriched uranium buried by last summer’s strikes on an underground base.

On April 7th, 2026, report from “The Atlantic,”
Did Trump Just Threaten to Use Nuclear Weapons in Iran?

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”
And now Trump says that he “rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran.” So, where did that come from? Trump on his meds? What happens when he is “off” his meds again? Will the “nuclear weapons” threat against Iran be back on the table? And yet, no one has removed this mad man from the Oval Office and placed him in a senior care facility! Mindboggling!! Just mindboggling!! The problem is, replace him with WHAT??!!
