US President Donald Trump dismissed the possibility of using a nuclear weapon against Iran when questioned by a reporter on Monday.
“Have you ruled out using a nuclear weapon against Iran?” the reporter asked.
“They’re totally defeated militarily, so I defeat them, and now I should use a nuclear weapon on top of them? What a stupid question,” Trump responded.
Trump previously said in April that he would not use a nuclear weapon against Iran, telling reporters that nuclear weapons “should never be allowed to be used by anybody.”
This is a developing story.
