Trump's attempt to activate nuclear codes against Iran, the reason for which he backtracked


Published: 11:59 22 April 2026
A widespread discussion has started in the US political arena around the claim that US President Donald Trump wanted to activate nuclear codes against Iran. Although no concrete evidence has been found for the matter yet, the debate about it is not stopping.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson claimed in a discussion that Trump took the initiative to use nuclear codes in an emergency meeting held at the White House. However, at that time, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, stopped him.
According to his statement, the meeting turned into a heated argument at one point. When Trump wanted to activate the nuclear codes, General Caine directly objected and made his position clear.
However, according to analysts, this claim is not entirely consistent with the US military command structure. According to the rules, the scope for directly disobeying the president's orders is very limited, especially on important issues such as the use of nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, various reports have emerged that there were differences of opinion between Trump and the military leadership on the Iran issue. Some sources claim that the president was kept out of the decision-making process during a recent military operation because officials found his behavior unstable.
Although there is no definitive proof of a nuclear attack yet, Trump's recent tough stance and dissent from the military leadership have fueled the discussion.
According to analysts, the rapid spread of unverified information on such a sensitive issue could be a cause for concern in international politics.
