PARIS - The United States' maximum pressure campaign on Iran has so far failed, France's president said on Tuesday , and he dismissed US efforts to restore UN sanctions against Teheran because Washington had already left the 2015 nuclear deal.
"This is why France, along with its German and British partners, will maintain its demand for the full implementation of the 2015 Vienna Agreement and will not accept the violations committed by Iran." That move was rejected by key European allies - Britain, Germany and France - as well as US adversaries such as Russia and China who are all parties to the nuclear agreement."We will not compromise on the activation of a mechanism that the United States on its own, leaving the agreement, is not in a position to activate," he said.
He repeated previous comments that within the 2015 deal, a framework needed to be added to ensure Iran never acquired nuclear weapons and which dealt with Iran's ballistic missile programme and regional destabilising activities.
