Europeans issue warning to Iran over nuclear deal commitments
France, Britain, and Germany have sent an official
diplomatic warning to Iran about the serious consequences Tehran faces if it
scales back its compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, two European diplomats
said on Monday.
Three diplomats said the European signatories to the
deal lodged the diplomatic demarche, the term for a formal note, on June 22,
with two saying the communication aimed to warn Iran specifically against
scaling back its commitments to the accord.
It was not immediately clear what consequences Iran
might face for non-compliance.
Iran has said it will not give the European powers
more time beyond July 8 to save the nuclear deal. It has said it is ready to go
through with a threat to enrich uranium to a higher level if Europe cannot
shield Tehran from US sanctions.
