EU Leaders Say Escalation Must Be Avoided In Iran Crisis; Trump ‘Open To Talk’ To Iran

(Worthy News) – French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have cautioned against an escalation in the dispute over Iran’s nuclear deal after Tehran said it would stop abiding by parts of the deal and U.S. President Donald Trump said he was open to talks with Iranian leaders.

Tehran on May 8 said it had stopped observing limits on its nuclear activities agreed under the 2015 deal until they find a way to bypass renewed U.S. sanctions. The same day, the U.S. envoy for Iran, Brian Hook, accused Tehran of resorting to “nuclear blackmail.”

Macron, speaking in Romania ahead of an EU summit on May 9, told reporters that “Iran must remain in this agreement, and we must do everything we can to ensure that it stays in.” [ Source: Radio Free Europe (Read More…) ]
