TEHRAN, May 15 - Tensions around Iran have dramatically increased since US President Donald Trump announced his decision to pull out Washington from the nuclear deal with Tehran.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Tensions around Iran have dramatically increased since US President Donald Trump announced his decision to pull out Washington from the nuclear deal with Tehran.

Asked whether he thinks US National Security Adviser John Bolton wants regime change in Iran, UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said that it is not the goal that Britain should pursue as the regime change in Tehran would not necessarily be change for the better.

Johnson went on saying that Britain, France and Germany — signatories of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal — would "continue to view the nuclear deal as vital for our shared security, and remain fully committed to upholding it."
