The Guardian- Theresa May has resisted pressure to re-examine the viability of the international nuclear deal with Iran from her Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, who urged her to follow Donald Trump�s example by imposing fresh sanctions.

May also said only a two-state solution could bring about peace in the Middle East, and her spokeswoman said the extension of illegal settlements made a solution more difficult.

Netanyahu had said �responsible� countries should follow Trump in imposing new sanctions against Iran after it test-fired a ballistic missile. But May expressed her concern about Iran�s actions without saying there was a need for sanctions.

At their first meeting in No 10, Netanyahu was canvassing support from the prime minister ahead of a meeting he is due to hold with Trump later this month, which will reveal more about the new US administration�s policy towards the Middle East.
