France says 'grave error' if Iran breaches deal

None

France's top diplomat has warned Iran that breaking the 2015 nuclear deal is a "grave error," and the "wrong answer" to pressure from the United States.

 

Foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian also called the U.S. initiative to build a global coalition to counter Iran "disturbing."

 

He said European diplomats are working to avoid further escalation of the tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

 

France, Germany, the United Kingdom and other European countries are trying to save the 2015 nuclear deal, which the U.S. pulled out of.

 

Iran has said it will break out of the deal's limit on its stockpiles of low-enriched uranium by Thursday, following the re-imposition of heavy U.S. sanctions.
