Eight European Union nations are underlining their commitment to the Iran nuclear deal while urging Tehran to stop its “destabilizing regional activities,” especially the launch of ballistic missiles.
Their statement says “it has been confirmed that Iran continues to implement its nuclear related commitments.”
But the Europeans warn that ballistic missile-related activities — including “the launch of nuclear-capable missiles and any transfers of missiles, missile technologies and components” — would violate Security Council resolutions.
Ambassadors of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom issue the statement outside the UN Security Council ahead of a meeting on Iran’s compliance with the 2015 nuclear agreement and the council resolution endorsing it.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will address the meeting.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
