Trump confirms he asked Netanyahu not to attack Iran

US president Donald Trump says he told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that attacking Iran would be "inappropriate" at this point as a deal is very close.

"That could change at any moment," Trump told reporters on Wednesday, stressing that he did not trust Tehran.

"We're having some very good talks with Iran. We'll find out whether that means anything, but we're having good talks," he said.

The sixth round of talks between the foes is yet to be scheduled, but the President sounded confident that an agreement may be reached within weeks.

He warned, however, that the capability to disrupt Iran's nuclear program is there and can be deployed in no time.
