Trump tweets Iran will 'never have a nuclear weapon'

Donald Trump on Monday repeated his insistence that Iran will not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, amid mounting tension over the US killing of a top Iranian commander.

Writing in all-caps, the US leader tweeted: "IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!"

The tweet came a day after Tehran announced it was further winding down observance of parts of an international deal struck to ensure that the country does not secretly develop a nuclear weapon under cover of its civilian nuclear industry.

Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 deal negotiated under his predecessor Barack Obama. Last year, Iran resumed uranium enrichment, reporting a tenfold increase in production.

He said that about Kim Jong Un. Then he fell in love with him.

No "mushroom cloud"!

Funny how reasoning for these recent idiotic wars started by Republicans changes from day to day. It's not supposed to work like that.

experience and record, Iran will almost certainly have a nuclear weapon.

If trump says 'never', Iran will likely have a nuclear weapon soon.
