Trump Reportedly Considered Nuclear Option for Iran

Washington (ANTARA) - US President Donald Trump has reportedly recently discussed with his subordinates speculations regarding the possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran to accelerate the end of the conflict, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning US journalist Seymour Hersh on Wednesday (10/6).

The report, citing several sources, suggests that such discussions were ongoing between several senior government members and the “frustrated president,” Hersh stated in a post on the Substack media platform.

Previously, on 28 February, the United States and Israel launched attacks on targets in Iran, including Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties.

Iran responded by attacking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East. Subsequently, on 7 April, Washington and Tehran announced a ceasefire.

However, subsequent talks held in Islamabad concluded without a breakthrough.

It is currently claimed that a negotiation process is underway between Iran and the United States, with recent efforts focused on resolving the framework of a memorandum of understanding. At the same time, both parties frequently launch isolated attacks against one another.
