The EU’s foreign policy chief says Iran nuclear deal parties aren’t ready to trigger the dispute mechanism.
The remaining parties to the Iran nuclear deal do not see Tehran’s breaches as significant non-compliance and have not indicated any intent to trigger the accord’s dispute mechanism, the European Union’s foreign policy chief said on Monday.
“For the time being, none of the parties to the agreement has signalled their intention to invoke this article, which means that none of them for the moment, for the time being with the current data we have had in particular from the IAEA, that the non-compliance is considered to be significant non-compliance,” Federica Mogherini told a news conference after an EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels.
Earlier, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said there was still time to save the Iran nuclear deal and that despite the United States being Britain’s closest ally it disagrees on how to handle the Iran crisis.
“Iran is still a good year away from developing a nuclear bomb. There is still some closing, but small window to keep the deal alive,” Hunt told reporters on arrival for a foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels on Monday.
