Rubio discusses Iran with European foreign ministers as sanctions snapback looms

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed Iran with his counterparts from France, Germany and the United Kingdom, the US State Department says.

“French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy… all reiterated their commitment to ensuring that Iran never develops or obtains a nuclear weapon,” a short statement from the State Department reads.

Diplomats say the three European countries are set to start reimposing sanctions on Iran over violations to the 2015 nuclear pact, demanding that UN inspectors be given access to enrichment sites.
