A president has publicly discussed nuclear weapons for the first time, though without explicitly ruling out the use of a massive conventional bomb previously described as the "mother of all bombs." The remarks come amid ongoing debates over military strategy and the potential escalation of conflicts. While the statement did not confirm or reject the weapon’s deployment, it underscores the administration’s stance on non-nuclear options in high-stakes scenarios. Analysts will likely scrutinize the implications of the president’s carefully worded comments on future defense policies.
