British, German and French diplomats to hold Iran talks

Britain, France and Germany will hold talks today on how to preserve the beleaguered Iran nuclear deal and protect shipping in the Gulf.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas and British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab will be joined by EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini for talks on the sidelines of an EU meeting in Helsinki

All have repeatedly said they are committed to saving the deal, but efforts to shield Iran's economy from the reimposition of US sanctions have so far borne little fruit,the AFP reported.
