Jeremy Hunt aims to ease tensions in Iran nuclear deal

Foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt is launching a fresh bid to stop the Iran nuclear deal unraveling and ease tensions in the gulf.

Mr Hunt will meet EU foreign ministers in Brussels to raise concerns about Iran breaching some of its commitments.

The deal, which involves Iran limiting nuclear activities in return for the easing of economic sanctions, struggled after the US withdrew in 2018.

It comes amid heightened tensions after the UK seized an Iranian oil tanker.

In a joint statement issued ahead of the meeting, Britain, France and Germany reiterated their support for the deal.
