Trump Rules Out Nuclear Strike on Iran After Threats, as U.S. Eyes Tougher Tech War with China

U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out using nuclear weapons against Iran, dialing back earlier rhetoric and stating firmly: “A nuclear weapon should never be used.” The shift comes after heightened tensions in the U.S.-Iran conflict and signals a preference for conventional military strategy.

Trump emphasized that existing operations have already “decimated” targets without nuclear force, reinforcing Washington’s push to prevent Iran from developing nuclear capabilities. Iran, however, continues to deny pursuing atomic weapons, with oversight from the United Nations indicating no immediate threat before the conflict.

Rising Tensions Beyond the Middle East

While geopolitical focus remains on Iran, the U.S. is also escalating concerns over alleged AI technology theft by Chinese entities. Ahead of a planned summit with Xi Jinping, Washington has warned of “industrial-scale” efforts to extract American artificial intelligence innovations.

The twin developments highlight a broader global landscape where military restraint meets technological rivalry—two fronts shaping U.S. foreign policy in real time.
