RT AP_Europe European leaders briefed on Washington’s intensifying friction with Iran worry about ‘an escalation that is unintended really on either side but ends with some kind of conflict.’
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, center, arrives for a meeting of the US and the E3 at the Europa building, Monday, May 13, 2019. The EU backers of the Iran nuclear deal meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to discuss ways to keep the pact afloat.
European countries that were co-signatories to a nuclear accord between Tehran and six world powers have been racing to salvage the deal since the U.S. pulled out last year. The foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany, parties to Iran agreement, and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, who supervises the way the 2015 agreement is enacted, met in Brussels on Monday.
Tensions mounted last week, when Iranian President Hassan Rouhani gave the remaining signatories 60 days to come up with a plan to shield his country from sanctions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump after the U.S. withdrew from the deal. Mogherini said Pompeo “heard clearly” in Brussels that “we are living a crucial, delicate moment, where the most responsible attitude to take is, and we believe should be, that of maximum restraint and avoiding any escalation on a military side.”
