US President Donald Trump asserts that Iran won’t be allowed to enrich uranium, despite reports that the deal Washington has proposed would allow Tehran to do so at low levels for a temporary period.

“They won’t be enriching. If they enrich, then we’re going to have to do it the other way,” Trump tells reporters, hinting at a military strike against Iran’s nuclear sites if a deal doesn’t pan out, while reiterating that a diplomatic agreement is his preferred option.
