PM meets with Israeli president ahead of Iran nuclear talks

During a meeting with Israeli President Issac Herzog today, prime minister Boris Johnson said the world “doesn’t have much time” to halt Iran’s attempts to develop nuclear weaponry. 

Herzog reportedly urged the UK to take a hard stance against Iran during the talks on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, scheduled to resume in Vienna later this month.

According to Israeli outlet Ynet, Herzog said: “Be as tough as possible because we do not believe that they are operating in a bona fide manner, and only if all options are on the table may things move in the right direction.”

Herzog also thanked Johnson for his government’s “controversial” decision to proscribe Hamas‘s political wing as a terror organisation.
