US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt are holding a joint press conference in London on 8 May.

The United States will wait and see what Iran does with its nuclear programme after announcing its intent to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) before deciding on a response, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a joint press conference with UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt in London.

"I've seen the reporting, I've seen the letter, I think it was intentionally ambiguous", Pompeo said. "We'll wait to see what Iran's actions actually are".

The presser comes after Pompeo postponed his visit to Berlin, where he was supposed to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Heiko Maas for talks on issues of mutual concern, including China, Russia, Syria, the Western Balkans, and Ukraine.
