United States President Donald Trump told reporters at the Oval Office on Wednesday that military action against Iran was "absolutely" possible "if necessary" in case Tehran refused to negotiate a nuclear deal. He also added that Israel would be involved and have a leading role in it if a conflict broke out.

Trump reiterated his stance that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. "We have a little time, but we don't have much time because we're not gonna let them have a nuclear weapon ... and I want them to thrive, I want Iran to be great the only thing they can't have is a nuclear weapon, they understand that," the president emphasized.
