US President Donald Trump stated that he would not use nuclear weapons against Iran, marking a departure from his earlier threats of massive force. Speaking at the White House on Thursday, Trump emphasized that nuclear weapons should never be deployed under any circumstances. He told reporters that no one should be allowed to use such weapons.

Previously, Trump had threatened to completely destroy Iranian civilization. In the same briefing, he announced that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would visit the White House in the coming weeks. Trump added that both leaders would need to consider Hezbollah in their discussions.

He also said the United States would work with Lebanon to help stabilize the country’s situation, according to the report sourced from Middle East Eye.
