Iranian-American lobby group calls on Trump to rule out using nuclear weapons

Iranian-American lobby group, the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), has urged US President Donald Trump to explicitly state that the administration will not consider using nuclear weapons against Iran. This call comes in response to Tucker Carlson's suggestion on X, that the US could be days away from launching a nuclear strike on Iran, potentially targeting an alleged site for nuclear enrichment.

NIAC's statement emphasizes that such an action would be unprecedented, marking the first nuclear strike on a civilian target since World War Two.

The organization's response highlights the severity of the potential situation, describing the possibility of a U.S. nuclear attack on Iran as an "unconscionable horror." This comes amidst ongoing conflict, with eight months of war having already taken a devastating toll on Iran. NIAC claims that the Trump administration, possibly influenced by Benjamin Netanyahu, is considering another catastrophic escalation.

The NIAC demands that President Trump immediately and without ambiguity rule out any use of nuclear weapons against Iran. They also urge Congress to intervene urgently to prevent further escalation and to bring an immediate end to the conflict, before it escalates into an irreversible catastrophe.
