Dont rush me : Trump says Iran military totally defeated
@BRICSinfo He is eternal lier! To protect the infamous image and to escape direct accusation US will use nuclear weapon through a proxy! Pakistan! The best choice! This debt ridden country with all leaders sold has no option but, carry out orders. India will definitely remain their target

@StateDept Overtone window - 101 Like war in Rusia - we don't send amo - we don't send tanks - we don't send rockets and later what? So with Iran they jumped to last level - we won't use nuclear weapon

I thought I was gonna be mad, worried the left would call him a coward. But I respect his answer. He makes it perfectly clear, there’s no need at the moment, AND “a nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody”. That was a mic drop 🎤
Trump says US will not use nuclear weapon in Iran war https://t.co/e9oNl7YAIh IF IRAN IS ADAMENT, THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION. NUCLEAR WEAPON ALONE ANSWER IT.
War Won’t Solve Iran’s Nuclear Threat. This Could | Opinion. Iran would retain its right to uranium enrichment. In exchange, it would accept the most intrusive inspection regime ever
In all of this I eat it up how upset people get at the language Trump uses when Harry Truman said far more intense things when describing what would happen to Japan if they didn’t surrender.
@DailyIranNews Dont forget that usa is the only country to use nuclear weapon. Against civilians and TWICE! 🤣🤣🤣 Fkin clown country

Is not a stupid question, USA is the only country which has used a nuclear weapon twice.
