PARIS/BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON - Britain, France and Germany plan a new push to keep Iran in the 2015 nuclear deal despite Tehran’s threat to violate one of its central limits, but they may be nearing the end of the diplomatic road they embarked on more than 15 years ago.
The result has been a series of attacks in the Gulf that the United States blames on Iran or its proxies, despite Tehran’s denials, as well as Iran’s threat on Monday to breach the 2015 deal’s limit on its uranium hexafluoride stocks within 10 days. The U.S. State Department’s point man on Iran, Brian Hook, plans to meet the E3 political directors in Paris on June 27, the date by which Iran says it would breach the deal, two sources said.
“We need to bring them back from the brink, but let me be clear: Our margin of tolerance on the nuclear issue is zero,” said a second senior European diplomat, calling for Russia and China to get more involved.Iran said on Monday it would breach 2015 deal’s 300-kg limit on its stock of uranium hexafluoride within 10 days, which the White House called “nuclear blackmail.”
If Iran violated the JCPOA, there are two ways the other parties could slow any move to reimpose U.N. sanctions on top of the U.S. sanctions already restored.
