U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday evening that the United States would not use nuclear weapons against Iran, but did not rule out the possibility of an attack with the conventional MOAB bomb, known as the “Mother of All Bombs.” The remarks were made in an interview with Newsmax, amid reports that the U.S. military was preparing scenarios for resuming operations against Iran.

“I will not use the nuclear weapon. There’s no reason for us to do that,” Trump said. Referring to the GBU-43/B bomb, the White House leader stressed that it is not nuclear but has considerable destructive power, comparing it to “a small nuclear bomb.”

The president neither confirmed nor denied whether he had authorized the use of the MOAB. According to CNN, the Pentagon has analyzed scenarios in which the weapon could be used against Iran’s energy and nuclear infrastructure after the November 3 midterm elections. Such an operation would represent a major escalation of the conflict.

Because of its size, the MOAB must be transported and launched from a Hercules military aircraft, which requires planning and air support. Asked about a possible ground invasion of Iran, Trump replied that, for now, he is not considering sending U.S. troops onto Iranian territory.

Context: SUA pregătesc scenarii de escaladare împotriva Iranului, în timp ce Trump oscilează între presiune și opțiuni militare

Înaintea declarațiilor recente, armata SUA a elaborat planuri pentru reluarea operațiunilor împotriva Iranului, inclusiv scenarii care ar implica folosirea bombei GBU-43/B MOAB. Potrivit informațiilor apărute anterior, țintele vizate ar fi putut include infrastructura energetică și instalațiile nucleare iraniene, iar utilizarea unei astfel de arme ar fi fost considerată o escaladare majoră.

În paralel, Trump a semnalat că se apropie de o decizie privind intensificarea atacurilor, în contextul în care negocierile erau suspendate și conflictul rămânea într-un impas. El a indicat că poziția aliaților regionali ar putea conta, iar forțele americane din Orientul Mijlociu urmau să fie menținute la nivelul existent pentru a fi pregătite în cazul unei escaladări.

Totodată, președintele a transmis și mesaje care sugerau o abordare mai prudentă, afirmând că Statele Unite ar putea lăsa presiunea economică să-și facă efectul, fără a forța imediat o nouă ofensivă militară. În acest cadru, au existat și declarații publice despre posibile opțiuni extreme, în timp ce negocierile SUA–Iran erau descrise ca blocate.
