Iran nuclear deal 'best' way forward, May tells Netanyahu
Tehran (KNA) - British Prime Minister Theresa May has reiterated her country’s support for the Iran nuclear deal in talks with her Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying London would remain committed to its obligations under the multilateral accord as long as Tehran is.
In a meeting with Netanyahu on Wednesday, the UK premier said the UN-backed nuclear deal, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), remains "the best route" to what she called "preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
"The UK premier conceded "differences of opinion" with Netanyahu regarding the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and said, "We will remain committed to it as long as Iran meets its obligations.
"She, however, said there were other issues, including Tehran's ballistic missile activities and its regional role, that need to be addressed.
Netanyahu pressed May to recognize that the Iranian nuclear deal is on the point of collapse and that a fresh plan is needed to stop Iran from restarting its uranium enrichment program.
He told May that he was focused on making sure Iran did not get a "nuclear weapon," and on "how to roll back Iran's aggression in the region," where Tehran is helping its neighbors fight terror.
