Trump stated Thursday he wouldn't use a nuclear weapon in Iran and that nobody should be allowed to use them. The post frames this as a "de-escalation signal," but the reality is more complicated — Trump made these comments while maintaining military threats and demanding Iran completely abandon nuclear enrichment as a condition for ceasefire talks. Trump also told PBS News on Monday that if the ceasefire with Iran expires, "then lots of bombs start going off." The headline misses the broader escalation dynamic: nuclear weapons aren't the operative threat here; conventional bombing and economic blockade are.
