President Donald Trump indicated on Friday the potential for limited strikes against Iran, as nuclear negotiations continue between the US and Tehran. This comes as Iran prepares to present a draft deal within days, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

In response to a question about military action, Trump said he is considering such options. Meanwhile, Araghchi expressed hope for serious negotiations on the deal text to commence soon, despite escalating tensions and a significant US military build-up in the Middle East.

While negotiations have stalled over broader US and Israeli demands, Araghchi claimed that zero uranium enrichment is not currently a negotiation point. In contrast, a White House official reiterated the US stance against Iran having nuclear weapons capabilities.
