Trump says Iran will not get a nuclear weapon or act without US approval

Single source · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) · 2026-11-05 21:20 UTC

US President Donald Trump is reported across many Telegram channels and outlets, all relaying the same remarks from 5 November 2026, as saying Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon and will take no step on its nuclear programme without US approval. The same remarks reportedly say he would prefer not to destroy the rest of Iran but may have to, that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz, and that the war has lasted about seven months. Reports differ on US deaths: some give 18 lives lost, while WarFront Witness reports him saying nobody has been killed.
