United States President, Donald Trump, has said he urged that nuclear negotiations with Iran continue during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. Trump, however, warned that the United States could take action against Tehran if a nuclear agreement is not reached. Iran has indicated it is willing to restrict parts of its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief, but has rejected wider demands. He also insisted Iran was “not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons” and was ready for verification. Israeli officials have said Israel reserves the right to take military action if Iran does not reach a nuclear agreement with the US.
