EU, US face off over Iran as ministers meet in Brussels
Tehran (KNA) - EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says the European Union fully supports the international nuclear accord with Iran after Tehran decided to scale down its commitments in response to US sanctions.
We will continue to support it as much as we can with all our instruments and all our political will," Mogherini said before meeting foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany in Brussels Monday.
Her announcement appeared aimed at the US whose Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was expected to show up in Brussels later in the day to talk with EU officials about Iran.
The United States has unilaterally abandoned the nuclear agreement and been trying to wreck the accord through a series of coercive measures which forced Tehran this month to recant some of its commitments.
