President Donald Trump said at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons. He said the U.S. administration is currently speaking with Tehran and Iran wants an agreement, but in his assessment it is not ready. Trump said he was prepared to listen while insisting the nuclear prohibition would remain. He warned that an Iranian nuclear weapon could threaten the United States, Israel, and the wider Middle East, and said Washington would not allow that outcome.
