President Donald Trump is considering indirect nuclear talks with Iran, according to a report by Axios, which cited two unnamed U.S. officials, while also preparing the ground for military strikes. Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei have exchanged letters in recent weeks.

U.S. President Donald Trump said this week that if Iran did not strike a deal with the United States over its nuclear programme "there will be bombing", adding to U.S. ally Israel's long-standing threat to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
