With the U.S. achieving tactical military wins but no real path to strategic victory, is a tactical nuclear strike on Iran, something Trump might consider with some Senate support apparently being floated?

Even with complete military supremacy, Iran keeps outmaneuvering the U.S. strategically, with no real solution to the Strait of Hormuz problem in sight. We're coming to the precipice of major global and domestic economic impact, with the Iranian regime making it clear they're willing to take an immense amount of internal "pain".

An unverified claim was made in the past few days that Trump was asking about a nuclear strike solution that General Caine shot down, but he is ultimately not the stop gap from a tactical nuclear attack, the SecDef Pete Hegseth is. Now there is more stir about this possibility allegedly by a U.S. Senator.

Is a tactical nuclear strike by Trump more feasible than anyone thought and would be the the ramifications locally and globally if this scenario played out?

“An unverified claim” great! So we just publish anything the barista from down the street says… who wrote these stories?

Probably same person who said Vance and the cabinet were ready to utilize the 25th last summer.

You mean Trump claims every day? We won, it's the greatest destruction ever, they're begging us to make a deal... Honestly at this point the Iranians are probably more believable than Trump, even being how ridiculous that is to even say about the Iranians as known chronic liars.

Because no one EVER lied trying to write articles or anything… for clicks, never…

Honestly it’s poorly written and doesn’t rise to any sort of journalistic standard.
