BRUSSELS: Britain said on Monday that there was a"small window" of time to save the Iran nuclear deal, as Tehran signalled it would resume its nuclear programme - seen by the West as a cover for making atomic bombs - if Europe failed to do more to salvage the pact.
In reaction to the re-imposition of tough US sanctions, which have notably targeted Iran's main oil revenue stream, Tehran has reduced some of its nuclear commitments under the deal, leading the European parties to the pact, France, Britain and Germany, to warn it about not fully complying with the terms.
Iran says the European countries must do more to guarantee it the economic benefits it was meant to receive in return for curbs to its nuclear programme under the deal. French President Emmanuel Macron dispatched his top diplomat to Tehran last week to offer suggestions on how to freeze the current status quo to gain some time and had said he wanted to review the diplomatic progress by Jul 15.
"We will do what we can to guarantee that there is no economic embargo against Iran and that European companies can continue working there," Josep Borrell, Spain’s Foreign Minister and EU foreign chief nominee told reporters.
