Israel's escalating conflict with Iran over its increased nuclear as brought up speculation about the possible use of one of America's powerful weapons in the conflict.

President Donald Trump has dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies that Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon before the latest conflict with Israel.

When Israel launched its series of strikes against Iran last week, it also issued a number of dire warnings about the country’s nuclear program, suggesting Iran was fast approaching a point of no return in its quest to obtain nuclear weapons and that the strikes were necessary to preempt that outcome.
