A former US presidential counterterrorism adviser, Joe Kent, has publicly stated that the United States might consider using nuclear weapons against Iran. Kent suggested this drastic measure as a potential means to overcome the existing impasse in relations with Tehran.

While the statement originates from a former official and doesn't represent current policy, it highlights a potentially hawkish viewpoint within the US national security establishment. The context surrounding the “deadlock” remains unspecified in the report, but implies stalled negotiations or unresolved conflicts. This assertion is likely to fuel further debate regarding US foreign policy towards Iran and the potential consequences of military intervention.
