TheEuropean Union vowed on Monday (October 16) to defend 2015 nucleardeal betweenIranand world powers and urged USlawmakers not to reimpose sanctions after President Donald Trump chose not to certify Tehran's compliance with the accord.
Germany and France led a chorus of warnings to the United States, normally theEU's closest foreign policy ally, that any weakening of the agreement to preventIranobtaining nuclear weapons could have serious consequences for peace.
EUforeign policy chief Federica Mogherini, who chaired the final phase of the 2015 negotiations, held closed-door talks on how the 28-nation bloc should proceed and ministers were also set to discuss how to tackleIran's ballistic missile programme.
But while severalEUgovernments, including the Netherlands and Britain, saidIran's ballistic missiles and Tehran's interventions in Syria and Yemen were a concern, ministers said the immediate focus had to be saving the 2015deal.
Negotiated after 12 years of talks thatEUdiplomats helped to initiate and carry through, the accord withIranis the most significant diplomatic success for the bloc in several decades.
At their meeting in Luxembourg, theEU's foreign ministers are also due to approve a new round of economic sanctions onNorthKoreaafter Pyongyang's nuclear test last month. Many governments still hold out hope of repeating theIrandealwithNorthKorea.
