Iran stalling nuclear talks to avoid sanctions, E3 warns US - Jerusalem Post

Senior officials from the UK, France, and Germany (the E3) have warned the Trump administration that Iran is deliberately dragging out nuclear talks to evade the reimposition of UN sanctions, the Jerusalem Post reported citing multiple sources.

"The Europeans told the United States that there must be a clear timeline for the negotiations; otherwise, the Iranians will deliberately stall to create a US-Europe confrontation in an effort to block the use of the sanctions snapback mechanism," the report quoted the sources as saying.

Britain, France and Germany - as signatories to a mostly lapsed 2015 nuclear deal with Iran - have until October to trigger United Nations sanctions on Tehran if they deem it non-compliant.
