The Trump administration has signalled it wants to renegotiate the controversial US-Iran nuclear deal, a move that has triggered alarm in London where the UK government is demanding robust nuclear safeguards remain in place. White House sources confirmed that President Trump is pushing for revisions, arguing the original agreement is 'too weak' on Iranian missile development and regional influence. But British officials are pushing back, insisting any alterations must preserve strict inspections and enrichment limits.
The standoff threatens to fracture the fragile diplomatic consensus, with European allies wary of Trump's transactional style. The deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), remains a cornerstone of non-proliferation efforts, but its future now hangs in the balance as negotiations enter a critical phase.
