The New Reublic — The Trump administration is reportedly considering nuking Iran.
The Guardian on Wednesday claimed that the U.S. military has reservations regarding the success of using a bunker-buster bomb, a nonnuclear weapon, to eliminate Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility, buried deep in a mountain. Two defense officials were reportedly briefed that only a tactical nuclear weapon could reach the facility, but The Guardian noted that Trump is not considering using a tactical nuke.
On Thursday, Fox News senior White House correspondent Jaqui Heinrich reported that the White House told her otherwise.
“I was just told by a top official here that none of that report is true, that none of the options are off the table, and the U.S. military is very confident that bunker busters could get the job done at Fordo,” Heinrich said.
After days of bombings and further escalation from Israel and the U.S., Trump is now openly floating nuking a country of 90 million to stop it from building the nukes the West has claimed it’s been building for decades. This disgusting provocation would leave countless innocents dead, poison the region for decades, and almost certainly lead to even deeper international conflict. All this from a president who ran on a promise to end endless wars and bring peace to the Middle East.

**Submission Statement**
Fox News [reports](https://x.com/afpost/status/1935877409179574600?s=46&t=lyUkewqrOx_z4p8M2W3EIQ) Trump is considering military options, including tactical nuclear weapons, to target Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, though no decision is final. The Guardian cites U.S. military doubts about conventional bombs’ effectiveness against the site, with some officials suggesting nuclear options, despite earlier claims Trump wasn’t considering them. A [White House official](https://x.com/jacquiheinrich/status/1935781367368810830?s=46&t=lyUkewqrOx_z4p8M2W3EIQ) told Fox News nuclear options remain possible. Trump’s press secretary says he’ll decide on U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict within two weeks, with a chance for talks to stop Iran’s nuclear program. Trump emphasizes preventing Iran’s nuclear ambitions but hasn’t committed to strikes, as diplomacy continues.
Is this misinformation the result of reading “nuclear” and “strike” in the same paragraph?
Well, this “no new wars” gimmick didn’t last very long, did it?
But is Trump really making these decisions or is he just the mouthpiece for such decisions? 🤔
He’s not going to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran. He’s crazy for even joining this conflict, though
No he isn’t.
Fake news at it’s highest levels. Nobody in the legacy news has access to what Trump is doing with his inner circle.
If you wanted to escalate this to WW3, I can think of no faster way.
If one nuke goes, odds are, a lot more are going to go.
Not one country is willing to legitimately pull the trigger on something like this. The world would be irreparable .
So Iran can’t have them but the USA can use them. That’s the logic they want the world to operate upon. They want to be the only ones with power.
At this point, why bother reading the nonsense – we’re gonna be the last ppl to know
He is leaking this nuclear talk so when he just does conventional strikes the maga lemmings will oo and ah about how peaceful their dictator is because he didn’t use a nuke.
Well, I’m hearing an unnamed pentagon official is saying, “Nothing is off the table.” But Trump sounds like he’s not considering it… yet. 2 weeks.
Gonna have to nuke russia and north korea now too
Hahaha Bullshit. Nice try though, If you go back and look at each of those quoted statements individually they don’t say anything like Trump is considering a Nuke. But the asshole reporter strung them together to portray that they were all stated together and in reference to each of the others.
Another (better) way to read these is :
1. Someone said Bunker buster may not be able to do the job.
2. Someone (else?) said only a tactical nuke would work if a bunker buster won’t.
3. Then someone in response to #1 (and NOT in continuation of #2) whoa no way we don’t agree that a bunker buster won’t work and thus nothing is off the table.
jerk
LOL there is no chance that Trump will use any nuclear bombs. He might use other shit, but he’s not dropping nuclear bombs.
no fucks given half a year into this presidency 🤦♂️
The propaganda is rampant. First, they quickly convinced the public that getting into this war is a legitimate option. This wasn’t even on the table a few months ago.
Next, they will convince a large segment of the population that nukes are an option. The more we see it and hear it, the less crazy this will seem.
Man i just wanna get through college and get a nice job
No way that’s the unthinkable this isn’t 1945 anymore doing that would be certainly damning. I don’t believe they will do it. Cause if they did America internationally would be ostracized from the world. America is not at war with Iran.
This crazy son of a bitch needs to be removed from office as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Republican lawmakers are fucking cowards.
Living in Canada and hanging on every word he says it’s now clear to everyone that 90% of what comes out of his mouth is bs. Looking at it from the lense of manipulating the markets and making your friends money in the process it’s a total racket.
The answer is that NOTHING can reach that facility from above through all that rock. It’s half as deep as Hermann Kahns theoretical cold war bunkers AND it’s a mountain, meaning that a lot of energy would uselessly dissipate. Trying it would just be an embarrassment.
