EU seeks to deescalate Persian Gulf tensions

European Union nations are looking to deescalate tension in the Persian Gulf area and call on Iran to stick to the 2015 nuclear deal despite the pullout of the United States and the re-imposition of sanctions.

 

Dutch foreign minister Stef Blok said on Monday that "it is still not too late, but Iran really has to stick to its obligations."

 

At their regular monthly meeting, the EU foreign minister will also look to drum up further support for its barter-type system to trade with Tehran and get around possible U.S. sanctions. Ten nations are already on board.
