<p>The US president said the “time has come” for Britain, Germany, France, Russia and China to “break away” from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).</p>
<p>Under the deal, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear programme and allow in international inspectors in return for the easing of economic sanctions.</p>
<p>Hours before Mr Trump’s remarks, Boris Johnson said the deal remains the “best way of preventing nuclear proliferation in Iran”.</p>
<p>He told MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions: <em>“It is the best way of encouraging the Iranians not to develop a nuclear weapon — and we think that after this crisis has abated, which of course we sincerely hope it will, that way forward will remain.</em></p>

<p><em>“It is a shell that has currently been voided, but it remains a shell into which we can put substance again.”</em></p>
<p>At a White House press conference on Wednesday afternoon Mr Trump said the “very defective JCPOA expires shortly anyway and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout”.</p>
<p><em>“Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism.</em></p>
<p><em>“The time has come for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and China to recognise this reality.</em></p>
<p><em>“They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal – or JCPOA – and we must all work together towards making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place.”</em></p>
<p>However, on a visit to New York in September, Mr Johnson called for a “Trump deal” on Iran, describing the existing JCPOA deal as “bad” with “many defects”.</p>
<p>The president claimed Iran appeared to be “standing down” following the missile attack, which he said was a “very good thing for the world”.</p>
<p>And he also announced that the US would be imposing additional “punishing” economic sanctions on the Iranian regime until the country “changes its behaviour”.</p>
