Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritain on calls Iran’s decision to no longer respect the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers an “unwelcome step” that could lead to new Western sanctions.
“Today’s announcement from Tehran is, I have to say to the House, an unwelcome step. We urge Iran not to take further escalatory steps and to stand by its commitments,” Foreign Office minister Mark Field tells parliament.
Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman tells reporters: “We are extremely concerned about this announcement.”
“This deal is a crucial agreement which makes the world safer and we will ensure it remains in place for as long as Iran upholds these commitments,” he says.
