BORIS JOHNSON and Donald Trump were accused today of “shirking responsibility” by hiding behind a “sham proposed nuclear agreement” with Iran. 

International secretary of the Tudeh Party of Iran Navid Shomali said Iran would be unlikely to accept the new “one-sided deal” proposed by the two leaders.

Mr Johnson said today that the Iran nuclear deal should be replaced by a “Trump deal” after the US President walked away from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018.
