Britain agrees with the United States that Iran poses a heightened threat and will work closely with its ally, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Thursday, ONA reports citing Reuters

Hunt said he had discussed Iran with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last week in London, and again in Brussels on Monday.

“We share the same assessment of the heightened threat posed by Iran,” Hunt said on Twitter. “As always we work closely with the USA.”

Earlier this week, Britain’s defense ministry backed a British general who appeared to question the Trump administration’s claims that an imminent threat had emerged from Iran.
