Britain, France and Germany united on Iran deal
None
The leaders of Britain, France and Germany say they "stand committed" to the Iran nuclear deal and are "concerned by the possible implications" of a US decision to no longer back it in its current form.
British Prime Minister Theresa May, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron issued a joint statement Friday night calling the deal "the culmination of 13 years of diplomacy" and "a major step towards ensuring that Iran's nuclear program is not diverted for military purposes."
The three leaders are urging the Trump administration and Congress to consider the possible consequences for the West's security "before taking any steps that might undermine" the deal, including imposing sanctions on Iran that the agreement lifted.
US President Donald Trump announced Friday that he will not re-certify the deal to Congress, and said if Congress can't come up with new legislation, he will terminate the Obama-era pact.
