US President Donald Trump says that if Iran does not comply with the deal and pursues a nuclear weapon, “it will be bombed”.

He is responding to a question about how the agreement can permanently prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, with floated drafts of the agreement not mentioning its nuclear programme.

“When I say permanently, it should be permanently. But if it’s not permanently, we will bomb them,” Trump replies.
