Britain warns Iran it's the 'last chance' to sign up to nuclear deal

UK foreign minister's statement comes just a day before the resumption of talks

LONDON:

British foreign minister Liz Truss urged Iran on Wednesday to sign up to the 2015 nuclear deal, saying it was "the last chance" to do, just a day before talks were expected to resume.

"This is really the last chance for Iran to sign up and I strongly urge them to do that because we are determined to work with our allies to prevent Iran securing nuclear weapons," she told the Chatham House think tank.
