U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will not use a nuclear weapon in the ongoing conflict with Iran, emphasizing his intention to achieve a peace deal with the country. Trump expressed his desire to avoid rushing into any agreements, aiming instead for a comprehensive and lasting resolution.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Trump‚¬Å¡¬€¦¡¬‚¬Å¡¬€¦¾¢s comments came during a press availability session, following his decision to extend a ceasefire with Iran. The extension provides time for Iran to present a unified proposal, as the U.S. administration believes internal divisions within Iran are hindering their ability to respond coherently. Trump stated that he has no intention of deploying nuclear weapons, labeling the war as "stupid" and insisting that nuclear options should never be considered.

In response to inquiries about the timeline for an Iranian proposal, Trump stressed patience, reflecting on historical U.S. milit ary engagements that spanned several years. He highlighted his brief tenure in the current conflict-six weeks-and noted that Iran‚¬Å¡¬€¦¡¬‚¬Å¡¬€¦¾¢s military capabilities have been significantly weakened.

Trump also addressed the internal struggles within Iran‚¬Å¡¬€¦¡¬‚¬Å¡¬€¦¾¢s leadership, describing the situation as chaotic, with factions vying for control. Despite these challenges, he indicated that discussions with Iranian representatives are ongoing, although clarity regarding leadership remains elusive.

The President reassured that any military build-up by Iran during the ceasefire would be swiftly neutralized by U.S. forces. He reiterated his goal of securing a robust and enduring peace deal with Iran, one that would prevent the need for further military intervention.

Trump dismissed suggestions that he is under pressure to finalize a deal quickly. He maintained that a successful agreement will come at the right time, prioritizing the interests of t he United States, its allies, and the global community.

On the topic of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, Trump asserted U.S. dominance over the crucial maritime passage, implying that its reopening hinges on a favorable outcome in negotiations or other positive developments.
