President Donald Trump has stated that the United States will not use nuclear weapons against Iran, emphasizing that such a measure is "not necessary." In an interview with Newsmax, Trump highlighted the strength of the U.S. non-nuclear arsenal, referring to a "very, very big bomb" that is not nuclear. He confirmed that Washington is considering other military actions, including a potential strike on a fortified underground facility located on Mount Pikax.
According to CNN, citing U.S. officials, military planners have developed new strike plans that could involve the use of GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bombs, also known as MOAB or "the mother of all bombs." These weapons are being considered for potential strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Some officials, however, have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of such measures in altering the conflict's trajectory.
Trump also mentioned the possibility of an operation against the hardened site on Mount Pikax, clarifying that U.S. ground troops would not be involved. He indicated that military actions could continue unless Iran's complete prevention of nuclear weapons development is guaranteed. The President expressed confidence that the current conflict would conclude soon, adding that Iran had allegedly asked Washington and Israel to cease operations due to ongoing negotiations.
When asked about trust in regional allies, Trump stated, "Honestly, I don't trust anybody. In the world of politics, I don't trust anybody."
