WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would not use a nuclear weapon in the war against Iran. “Why would I use a nuclear weapon? We’ve totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it,” Trump told reporters at the White House when asked whether he would use such a weapon. “No, I wouldn’t use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody,” he added. Asked how long he was willing to wait for a long-term peace deal with Iran, Trump said, “Don’t rush me.” READ MORE: ’Shoot and kill’: Trump says US to attack any boats laying mines in Strait of Hormuz He said Iran might have loaded up their weaponry “a little bit” during the two-week ceasefire, but added that the US military could knock that out in about one day. “Their navy is gone. Their air force is gone, their anti-aircraft is gone …maybe they loaded up a little bit during the two-week hiatus, but we’ll knock that out about one day, if they did,” Trump added.
