While this is generally a possibility, I think in this case it's more likely that they have heard the rumbling from the masses about nukes and really didn't mean to imply them - they were talking about taking out bridges and power plants, which would severely disable Iran, so I think that's what Trump meant about the civilisation thing.
But I am not 100%, which I think is the point - we're all not quite ready to believe Trump wouldn't throw nukes..... so we're certainly not buffoons to worry.
