Trump: I have no intention of using nuclear weapons against Iran United States President Donald Trump said in an interview with Newsmax on the evening of Thursday, October 15, that he has no intention of using nuclear weapons in a war against the Islamic Republic of Iran. He also stated that he has no intention of sending US ground forces to Iran. Trump is making these statements at a time when fears of an escalation of the military conflict between the United States and the Islamic Republic have increased again and the Iran-backed Houthis have stepped up their attacks on Saudi Arabia. On Thursday, October 15, the Xianan News Network reported that the US military is considering the possible use of the GBIU-43 bomb, known as the "mother of all bombs," in future attacks against Iran. It is America's largest non-nuclear bomb that Donald Trump can authorize to use. In an interview with Newsmax, Trump emphasized that this bomb is not a nuclear weapon.
