European Union has urged the US President Donald Trump to endorse a key nuclear agreement with Iran saying the deal is essential for international security.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told reporters in Brussels on Thursday, after a meeting between the Europeans and their Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif, that there is no indication that could call into doubt Iranian respect of the agreement.
Le Drian called on all parties to uphold the agreement, noting that our American allies should respect it as well. There is no particular reason for any rupture.”
In the meeting, the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany threw their weight behind the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear ambitions and insisted that the Islamic Republic is respecting it.
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson also noted that no one has put forward a plan that might be as effective in curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“It’s incumbent on those who oppose the (deal) really to come up with that better solution, because we haven’t seen it so far,” he said.
EU Foreign Policy Chief, Federica Mogherini, who hosted today’s meeting, said that unity is essential to preserve a deal that is working, that is making the world safer, that is preventing a nuclear arms race in the region.
