Britain's envoy Darroch believed US President Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal because it was associated with his predecessor Obama – report
According to leaked documents published on Saturday, UK ambassador to Washington Kim Darroch described President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal as"diplomatic vandalism".
"The administration is set upon an act of diplomatic vandalism, seemingly for ideological and personality reasons – it was Obama's deal," ambassador Kim Darroch wrote in a diplomatic cable in May 2018. Working with officials from the National Cyber Security Centre, part of spy agency GCHQ, and MI6, the probe has homed in on a suspect who had access to historical Foreign Office files, the paper said.
In a cable sent afterwards, Darroch reportedly indicated there were divisions in Trump's team over the decision, and criticised the White House for a lack of long-term strategy. The newspaper reported that, according to Darroch, Pompeo also hinted that he had tried but failed to "sell" a revised text to Trump.
