Irises: Should I cut back now?, 1 by TrixieM

My tall bearded iris seem to have finished blooming ( except for the rebloomers). I had a fairly serious case of that brown spot fungus on them this year, although I sprayed them with Daconil twice.

Should I go ahead and cut back the leaves and destroy them now to get as much of it out of the bed as soon as possible, or should I wait until they start to die back on their own?

Thanks for your answers. (The picture is Braggadoccio.) (Oh, so sorry! I didn't look first to review the picture. It is really out of focus.)
