UK still working closely with US, minister insists after Trump criticism

The UK government has defended its stance on Iran, following criticism from US President Donald Trump. A UK minister insisted that the country is still working closely with the US, despite Trump's comments suggesting the relationship is "not what it was". The comments come after the UK refused to join the US in a maximum pressure campaign against Iran. The minister argued that the UK's approach, which includes maintaining the Iran nuclear deal, is the best way to address concerns about Iran's behavior. The UK has faced pressure from the US to take a tougher stance on Iran, but the minister maintained that the government's strategy is the right one. The article highlights the ongoing tensions between the UK and the US on foreign policy issues, particularly regarding Iran.
