In a statement, France, Germany, and the UK (E3) jointly indicated that “we are concerned by the risk that the JCPOA further unravels under the strain of sanctions imposed by the U.S. and following Iran’s decision to no longer implement several of the central provisions of the agreement”. They added “the time has come to act responsibly and seek a path to stop the escalation of tensions”, going on to state that “we will continue to explore the avenues of dialogue foreseen under the agreement to address Iran’s compliance, including through the Joint Commission of the JCPOA”.
