The ministers had already been scheduled to meet with their Italian counterpart to discuss the crisis in Libya, but opted to hold separate discussions on Iran amid the crisis that erupted following the U.S. killing of an Iranian general. Britain’s foreign office said the E3 - Britain, France and Germany, would meet to discuss ways to defuse tensions between the United States and Iran.
France’s foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Monday the substance of the Iran nuclear deal was slowly disappearing and European powers would decide in coming days whether to launch a dispute resolution process over Iranian violations. Diplomats told Reuters on Monday that the European parties to the deal would launch the process this week.“It is imperative that we find a way to de-escalate things,” France’s junior foreign affairs minister told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday.
