Too early to talk about 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 told a joint press conference on Friday after a meeting of EU leaders in Cyprus.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made 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.
