Trump's 'Nuclear Dust' Claims Explained

Trump's 'Nuclear Dust' Claims Explained

Trump has used the term to highlight the potential threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, though scientists have noted that the substance is not actually dust.

The uranium is a volatile and highly toxic material that could trigger a nuclear reaction if processed further.

Trump's rhetoric comes as he maintains a hardline stance against any nuclear strikes on Tehran, asserting that conventional forces have already decimated Iranian defenses.

The president's focus on personal aesthetics and 'fake math' has also been a recurring theme in his recent Oval Office briefings.
