\nTEHRAN: Junior Foreign Minister Alistair Burt arrived in Tehran on Friday to discuss the future of Iran’s international nuclear deal, in the first visit to the country by a British minister to Iran since Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 agreement.<\/p>\n
\nHis visit comes as the European Union tries to keep the deal alive.<\/p>\n
\n“As long as Iran meets its commitments under the deal, we remain committed to it as we believe it is the best way to ensure a safe, secure future for the region,” said Burt in a statement ahead of his visit.<\/p>\n
\nBurt will also discuss the plight of dual nationals detained in Iran, as well as Iran’s “destabilizing role” in the ongoing conflicts in Syria and Yemen.<\/p>\n

\nBritain is seeking the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a project manager with the Thomson Reuters Foundation. She was arrested in April 2016 at a Tehran airport as she was heading back to Britain with her daughter, now aged four, after a family visit.<\/p>\n
\nBurt will meet Iranian ministers, including his counterpart Abbas Araghchi, and NGOs during his two-day visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
