Main Points
Iran’s Ministry of Health has begun distributing iodine tablets to residents living within 2 to 3 kilometres of Kazma Mountain after concerns grew that a nuclear attack could target the area. The decision follows a statement attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump, in which he allegedly said he could give a nuclear strike order against Iran. The claim has not been verified by any official source. A ministry spokesperson confirmed that the iodine distribution is a precautionary measure to protect the public from potential radioactive fallout. “We are distributing iodine tablets,” the spokesperson said. “Trump cannot be trusted.” The spokesperson added that the distribution is part of a broader public health response to the heightened threat perception. The iodine tablets are intended to prevent thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine in the event of a nuclear incident. The Ministry of Health has not released a detailed plan for the distribution, but officials say the initiative is aimed at the population living closest to the mountain, where fears of a nuclear strike are reportedly highest.
