US President Donald Trump on Thursday, April 23, ruled out striking Iran with a nuclear weapon, after his previous threats to destroy Iranian civilization. "No, I wouldn't use it," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we've, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it?" he asked. "A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody."
