“The president said that as a last resort he would agree to a military scenario if it would help prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

However, according to Malli, the time has not yet come for that.

He stressed that the United States still prefers diplomacy to force.

Earlier, ISNA reported that Iran for the first time increased uranium enrichment to 60% at its plant in Fordow.
