Trump was asked if the U.S. could use a nuclear weapon against Iran.
His response raised eyebrows:
“I would never say that, but the answer is yes.”
Trump then argued that there would be no need for such a move, claiming Iran is already “totally defeated.”
He also dismissed the reporter’s question as “stupid.”
The statement adds another layer of tension to the already volatile U.S.-Iran situation.
