BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Britain's Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt warned on Monday of the risks of an unintended conflict between the United States and Iran over the unraveling nuclear deal.

"We are very worried about the risk of a conflict happening by accident with an escalation that is unintended," Hunt told reporters in Brussels, adding that it was crucial not to put Iran back on the path of re-nuclearisation.
