Johnson said the need for a new deal with Iran

“In my opinion, no matter what your objections to the old deal with Iran, it's time to go ahead and make a new deal,” Johnson said.

He noted that the UK will work with the EU and the United States to "try to push them to such a train of thought."

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that Tehran was ready to continue negotiations to preserve the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA).
