Too early to discuss sanctions relief for Iran, say EU leaders
It is too early to talk about relieving any kind of sanctions on Iran, EU Council President Antonio Costa tells a joint press conference after a meeting of EU leaders in Cyprus.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen makes similar comments.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had said after the meeting that EU leaders were willing to gradually ease sanctions on Iran in the event that a comprehensive agreement is reached.
