Mogherini: Iran nuclear deal should be kept

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said the current deal with Iran is working effectively to keep Tehran from developing nuclear weapons and should be preserved for the future.

Speaking in Brussels, Mogherini said that "on what can happen in the future we will see in the future. But there is one deal, existing, it is working, It needs to be preserved," the Washington Press cited her as saying.

Mogherini spoke after US President Donald Trump again showed dissatisfaction with the international agreement during a news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, highlighting a trans-Atlantic rift on the issue.

Macron said the current deal should not be ripped apart without a clear path to the future, and said after talks with Trump that there could be a way to move to a “new agreement,” building on the one in place.
