A recent statement from a close ally of US President Donald Trump suggests that tactical nuclear weapons may be necessary to eliminate Tehran's nuclear facilities. This comes as Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei reportedly increases security measures in response to perceived threats from President Trump.

President Trump has indicated that a decision on military action in Iran will be made within two weeks, following discussions with senior defense officials. Israeli authorities are reportedly urging the US to support their efforts to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, which they claim is nearing completion.

While the Israeli Defense Force has successfully targeted key figures and facilities within Iran's nuclear program, they lack the capability to reach deeply buried sites. This has led to calls for the use of America's "bunker buster" bombs, with some suggesting the use of tactical nuclear weapons for greater precision.

Tactical nuclear weapons are designed to have a more localized impact compared to strategic nuclear weapons, offering a potentially more targeted approach. The suggestion of using a nuclear warhead has sparked debate over the potential consequences and effectiveness of such a move.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued warnings of 'irreparable consequences' in response to escalating tensions. The situation remains tense as discussions continue on the best course of action.
