US President Donald Trump said yesterday he had warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against striking Iran, saying it would not be "appropriate" amid talks on a nuclear deal with Tehran.

"Well, I'd like to be honest, yes I did," Trump told reporters when asked if he had told Netanyahu in a call last week not to take military action. "I said I don't think it's appropriate right now."

Trump added that "we're having some very good talks with Iran.
