Alarm as White House Says Trump Has Not Ruled Out Dropping Nuclear Weapon on Iran

(June 19, 2025)

An unnamed Trump administration official told Fox News senior White House correspondent Jaqui Heinrich that „none of the options are off the table,“ denying a Guardian report that said the president was „not considering using a tactical nuclear weapon“ on Iran‘s heavily entrenched Fordow nuclear site.

Trump‘s reported consideration of a nuclear option comes amid internal concerns that the 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs the U.S. possesses within striking distance of Iran would be insufficient to destroy Fordow.
