Boris Johnson Calls on US to Stop Gambling With Iran Nuclear Deal

Boris Johnson arrived in Washington on Wednesday for two days of talks aimed at convincing US lawmakers to uphold the nuclear deal with Iran. British Foreign Secretary's trip to Washington comes on the heels of a visit on Monday and Tuesday by European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini, who also spent two days on Capitol Hill trying to convince US lawmakers to uphold the nuclear agreement with Iran.

"It took thirteen years of tireless diplomacy between the UK, US, our European partners and Iran to make the world a safer place. Now is not the moment to put that at risk," Johnson said.

The top British diplomat emphasized that the deal was working and had resulted in Iran turning over 95 percent of its uranium stockpile.
