The leaders of Germany, France and the U.K. have said they will stand by the Iran nuclear deal, for now, defying a call from President Donald Trump to abandon the 2015 pact.
"Despite increasingly difficult circumstances, we have worked hard to preserve the agreement. All remaining parties to the JCPOA, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and Iran, with the EU as coordinator, have stated their continuing commitment to preserve the JCPOA," the leaders of Germany, France and the U.K. said in a statement issued Sunday evening.
Iran announced last summer that it had breached the deal by exceeding its stockpile limit of low-enriched uranium. The summit came after Iranian airstrikes on Iraqi military bases housing U.S. troops, in retaliation for the U.S.' assassination of its top military commander Qasem Soleimani. The meeting happened before, killing all 176 passengers.
