President Donald Trump’s primary concern from the outset of Operation Epic Fury against Iran was preventing the regime from acquiring a nuclear weapon. He believed that allowing a dangerous regime, known for its “Death to America” chants and for killing hundreds of Americans over the past 47 years through its terror proxies, to obtain such a weapon could pose a significant threat.
As the conflict unfolded, the knowledge of Iran’s highly enriched uranium and the potential for them to possess ballistic missiles capable of targeting the US-UK military base at Diego Garcia reinforced the serious risk they posed to us.
You would expect that such a danger would be a concern for the media. However, during a White House briefing, one reporter took the question to an extreme by asking Trump if he would consider using a nuclear weapon against Iran.
Just. Ignorant. And Trump made sure he conveyed that to the female reporter:
REPORTER: Would you use a nuclear weapon against Iran?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: No. Why would a stupid question like that be asked?
Why would l use a nuclear weapon when we’ve totally decimated Iran without it? A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody. pic.twitter.com/7hAlHLrNT4

“A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody,” the president said. Exactly. Because that would be the end of the world.
But beyond that, the left-wing media’s concerns are about him using a nuke? Not the Iranians, who have been pushing for one for decades as they pledged “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”? How come they’re not concerned about Obama, who propped up the now-deceased Mullahs with actual pallets of cash and a ‘nuclear deal’ that allowed Iran to cheat and enrich nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium to 60 percent?
Trump later went on to pledge he would order the destruction of the remaining military targets left in Iran if what passes for leadership there won’t make a lasting peace deal that allows us to secure the uranium dust:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: We’ve hit 78% of the targets that we’ve wanted to hit. If Iran doesn’t want to make a deal, then I’ll finish it up militarily with the other targets. pic.twitter.com/42h4QGnQXV

Given the ‘fool around’ nature of what we’ve been seeing from the Iranians, my personal belief is that Trump will ensure they ‘find out.’
