President Donald Trump said he does not intend to use nuclear weapons against Iran or deploy American ground troops, according to an interview broadcast by Newsmax on Thursday.

Trump addressed reports that the US military was considering the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, commonly called the “Mother of All Bombs.” He described it as a powerful conventional weapon, stressing that it is not nuclear, but did not confirm whether military planners had included it in potential strikes.

CNN reported that the US military had developed options targeting Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities if Trump decides to resume combat operations. Trump previously said he would not restart strikes before the November 3 midterm elections.

Meanwhile, shipping risks remain elevated in the Strait of Hormuz. The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency reported eight attacks since October 11 and assessed the threat as severe after a container ship was struck and sank.
