Donald Trump said he will not use nuclear weapons in the conflict with Iran but warned Tehran to act fast on a deal. “The clock is ticking,” he said. Trump claimed Iran was already “decimated” through conventional attacks. He also ordered the US Navy to destroy any Iranian boats laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
