Donald Trump’s statement that nuclear weapons falling “into the hands of ordinary people” would lead to dangerous consequences was made in the context of discussions on nuclear non-proliferation and the situation around Iran. In response, Tehran issued a statement reminding that the United States remains the only country to have used nuclear weapons in combat.

This exchange of statements is taking place amid ongoing diplomatic contacts and disputes over Iran’s nuclear program. The United States traditionally emphasizes the need for strict limitations and oversight, while Iran insists on its right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes within the framework of international agreements.

Iran’s response draws on the historical context of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, which Tehran regularly references in its diplomatic rhetoric to criticize U.S. policy on nuclear security and non-proliferation.

Such public exchanges intensify the information confrontation but do not necessarily indicate a breakdown in negotiations. Sharp rhetoric is often used by both sides to strengthen their positions before domestic audiences and in international discussions.

At the same time, the prospects for dialogue on the nuclear issue remain uncertain. Further developments will depend on political decisions in Washington and Tehran, as well as on the positions of other participants in the negotiation process.
