US President Donald Trump ruled out using nuclear weapons or deploying American ground troops against Iran, despite ongoing conflict and fresh military strike options under development.

Speaking to Newsmax, Trump clarified that discussions involving the massive non-nuclear GBU-43/B—commonly known as the “mother of all bombs”—did not involve nuclear capabilities. “The mother of all bombs is not nuclear. It’s not nuclear at all… I wouldn’t use nuclear. We don’t have to,” Trump stated. When asked about sending US ground forces into Iran, he added, “I don’t see that.”
