“It is our view that the JCPOA remains the best way of preventing nuclear proliferation in Iran, the best way of encouraging the Iranians not to develop a nuclear weapon,” Johnson told parliament.

“It is a shell that has currently been voided but it remains a shell into which we can put substance again.”(Reuters/NAN)
