If they enrich, then we’re going to have to do it the other way,' US president tells reporters; Iran rejected deal that would have reportedly allowed limited enrichment

President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump that he was ready to use Russia's close partnership with Iran to help with negotiations over Iran's nuclear programme, the Kremlin said on Thursday.
