U.S. President Donald Trump says he is "not looking for war" with Iran and willing to negotiate with its leaders without preconditions, but that under no circumstances can the Islamic Republic be allowed to mass a nuclear weapons arsenal.

Trump told NBC's Meet the Press show that if the U.S. went to war with Iran, "It'll be obliteration like you've never seen before."

"But," he added, "I'm not looking to do that."

The U.S. leader said, "Here it is. Look, you can't have nuclear weapons. And if you want to talk about it, good. Otherwise, you can live in a shattered economy for a long time."

Trump's comments, taped Friday, were aired after he announced Saturday, without providing any details, that he plans to impose "major" new sanctions on Iran on Monday. He said the sanctions would be dropped as soon as the country becomes "a productive and prosperous nation again."
