Washington, March 3: Before deciding on a military strike against Iran, former President Donald Trump issued at least 74 warnings: Tehran must not possess nuclear weapons.
The White House stated on Monday that Trump has consistently conveyed this message for decades, asserting that Iran must never be allowed to acquire nuclear arms. A compilation of his statements over the past 15 years was also released, starting from November 2011.
While his phrasing may have varied, his emphasis remained unchanged.
On February 24, 2026, Trump warned that following the “Midnight Hammer,” Iran was cautioned against restarting its weapons program, particularly its nuclear agenda. Despite this, he noted that they were still attempting to do so. He firmly stated, “I will never allow the world’s number one terror sponsor to possess nuclear weapons.”
Just five days earlier, on February 19, 2026, he reiterated that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, emphasizing that peace in the Middle East would be impossible if they did.
On February 13, 2026, he made it clear that he did not want uranium enrichment, stating, “We do not want any kind of enrichment.”
Many of his statements were brief and direct.
On February 9, 2026, he declared, “No nuclear weapons.”
On February 6, 2026, he stated, “One thing, and very clear—no nuclear weapons.”
On January 29, 2026, he asserted, “Number one, no nuclear.”
On June 25, 2025, he mentioned that he had been saying for the past 15 years that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, a stance he held even before entering politics.
This message dates back to before his presidency.
On November 3, 2024, he warned, “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are the greatest threat not just to our country, but to the entire world.”
On October 7, 2024, he said, “I just wanted one thing. You cannot have nuclear weapons. You cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons.”
On August 27, 2024, he cautioned that if Iran acquired nuclear weapons, Israel could face significant harm.
Earlier, on January 6, 2020, Trump boldly declared, “Iran will never have nuclear weapons!”
On June 22, 2019, he stated, “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons!”
And on November 4, 2011, years before entering the White House, he said, “We cannot allow Iran to become a nuclear power.”
While the wording in rallies, interviews, and official statements varied, his core demand did not change. The White House claims this stance is part of a long-standing U.S. policy aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear bombs.
For over a decade, Iran’s nuclear program has been central to U.S. policy in the Middle East. Tensions and confrontations have arisen between the two nations over uranium enrichment, economic sanctions, and international inspections.
