BRUSSELS - Britain, France and Germany must be ready to react to Iran’s breaches of its 2015 nuclear deal and this could mean reimposing international sanctions on Tehran, though Europe still wants to save the accord, the German foreign minister said on Monday.
Iran says its violations have been driven by the United States’ withdrawal from the deal last year and its reimposition of sanctions that have strangled Tehran’s oil exports, and would return to compliance if Washington did so. “Iran must finally return to its commitments. Otherwise we will reserve the right to use all mechanisms specified in the deal,” Maas said, referring to steps under which international sanctions that were lifted under the pact could be reinstated.
So far, the European position is that the International Atomic Energy Agency and its inspectors must first verify Iran’s latest announcements on enrichment, EU diplomats said. Iran’s reactivation of Fordow is especially sensitive as it concealed the site from U.N. non-proliferation inspectors until its exposure in 2009, and it is built inside a mountain to withstand any air strikes.
