US President Donald Trump did not spell out his next steps on Iran during his State of the Union address. He said he prefers a deal over conflict. “We haven’t heard from them those secret words: ‘We do not want nuclear weapons ever’,” he said. Hours earlier, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, “Iran will under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon.” A new round of talks is set to take place in Geneva. A diplomat said military action could follow if no “acceptable text” is agreed. The US has increased its military presence in the Middle East as talks continue. (PC: X)
