The US president says under the agreement being negotiated with Iran it “can’t have a nuclear weapon” or “they get blown up”, AlJazeera reports.

“This deal is a wall to a nuclear weapon,” said Trump, while describing the previous nuclear deal with Iran – reached under the administration of former US President Barack Obama – as “a road to a nuclear weapon”.
