Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has dismissed plans for a new “Trump deal” to end Tehran’s ambitions for a nuclear weapon as he called on US forces to leave the region.
In a televised speech, Mr Rouhani called for a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, describing the offer of a new agreement as “strange”. He said that US President Donald Trump could not be trusted to keep his promises.
Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, raised the prospect for a new deal overseen by Donald Trump on Tuesday, a suggestion heartily endorsed by the US president who wants to curtail Iran’s nuclear and missile programme and rein in its regional proxies.
Other developments include:
• Iran's flight downing highlights need for regime change, says former Canadian PM
• Britain’s envoy to Iran leaves Tehran on ‘pre-planned visit'
• Russia urges Gulf states to form common security mechanism
• Why the Afghanistan experience of Esmail Qaani, the man who replaced Suleimani, propelled him to the top job
