UNITED NATIONS — Iran must make some concrete steps because time is running out to prevent the reimposition of UN sanctions, the European Union’s foreign policy chief says.

“Diplomacy has a chance. The deadlines are running, and let’s see. We need to see some real action also on the Iranian side,” Kaja Kallas, who met Iran’s foreign minister earlier in the day with European counterparts, tells reporters.
