UK Prime
Minister Theresa May has told her Iranian counterpart, Hassan
Rouhani, that the British government is committed to ensuring the
Iran nuclear deal is upheld.
The
future of the deal is in doubt after US President Donald Trump
announced plans to pull the US out of the agreement that was signed
in 2015. The deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action (JCPOA), was supported at the time by the US, China, Britain,
France, Russia and the European Union.
Trump
now plans to introduce fresh sanctions against Iran, which will have
a negative impact on UK businesses operating in the country. May was
said to have raised these concerns in a call with Trump on Friday.
Foreign ministers from Britain, Germany, France and Iran are due to
meet in Brussels on Tuesday.
