EU holds Iran nuclear crisis talks as Tehran issues fresh threats - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The European Union is desperately trying to prevent the deal unravelling completely, seeing it as the best way to stop Tehran acquiring atomic weapons.

However, Iran piled fresh pressure on Europe, demanding concrete measures to give it relief from US sanctions and threatening to return its nuclear programme to where it was before the curbs imposed by the 2015 deal. Iran has repeatedly warned it could leave the deal unless the remaining parties bypass US sanctions to deliver the promised economic benefits and on Monday threatened to take its nuclear programme back to its pre-deal status.

For now, none of the remaining parties have triggered the formal dispute mechanism, meaning that they did not regard Iran’s breaches up to now as “significant non-compliance” under the terms of the deal, Mogherini said.
