European Powers Push For New Talks With Iran

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – The leaders of France, Britain and Germany are urging Iran to enter talks about a new arrangement to bolster the fraying nuclear deal Tehran struck with the West in 2015 – though they said they still supported that agreement, which the U.S. has withdrawn from.  French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for Iran “to accept negotiation on a long-term framework for its nuclear programme as well as on issues related to regional security, including its missiles programme and other means of delivery.”  Johnson went further, saying U.S. President Donald Trump should strike a new deal with Tehran.  Johnson told NBC that “there’s one guy who can do a better deal … and that is the president of the United States. I hope there will be a Trump deal.”
