US President Donald Trump has ruled out the use of nuclear weapons in his war with Iran, stating that the US has already decimated Iran in a conventional way.
Trump made the remarks during a press conference at the White House, where he was asked if he would use a nuclear weapon against Iran.
He responded by calling the question 'stupid' and asking why he would need it, given that the US has already achieved its military objectives in the first four weeks of the war.
Trump said that the US has hit 78% of its targets, including Iran's manufacturing, missile production, and drone production, and that he is now waiting for a deal from Iran.
He also warned that the clock is ticking for Iran to make a deal, and that the US will not rush itself in negotiations.
