U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the readiness of American troops to strike all remaining targets in Iran in the absence of an agreement, but categorically excluded the possibility of using nuclear weapons.
U.S. President Donald Trump made an important statement: American troops are ready to strike all remaining targets in Iran if a diplomatic agreement is not reached. At the same time, the head of state categorically rejected the possibility of using nuclear weapons. He voiced his position while answering questions from journalists in the Oval Office.
"No. Why would I need that? Why such a stupid question? Why would I use nuclear weapons if we have completely destroyed them in a very traditional way?"
Details of the Operation
President Trump clarified that at the current moment, U.S. armed forces have successfully destroyed 78% of the designated targets on Iranian territory. Among the affected sites were key facilities for the production of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Trump particularly noted that the United States is actively working on the terms of a potential agreement with Iran. If these arrangements are not reached, American troops will complete the military operation, striking all remaining targets.
Position on Nuclear Weapons
The U.S. President also emphasized that the use of nuclear weapons is unacceptable for anyone.
"I want to reach an agreement that keeps our country and the world safe from madmen with nuclear weapons," Trump stated.
