US President Donald Trump on Monday issued a fresh warning to Iran, saying Tehran must either reach a deal with Washington or face decisive military action. His remarks came as Iran continues a multi-day state funeral for its slain Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Trump Ensures Iran Would Not Acquire Nuclear Weapons

Reiterating Washington's position on Iran's nuclear programme, Trump said the United States would ensure Tehran does not acquire nuclear weapons.

"Oil is now at a level that, I think, is even lower on a barrel basis than it was before we started. We've gotten concessions, and they have to hold those concessions, but there'll be no nuclear weapon.

Trump also dismissed speculation that the US is pursuing regime change in Iran, saying that is not Washington's objective, according to Reuters.

"All I did was ask for a review because I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled," he said.

He added that FIFA ultimately made the right decision, while criticising the referee's initial call.

"I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee's call was horrible. Nobody talks about the referee's decision to red card; they only talk about the red card itself," Trump said.
