'Left with no choice': European countries move to hold Iran accountable for violating nuclear deal

Britain, Germany, and France moved toward implementing more sanctions against Iran after Tehran said it would not comply with any restrictions on enriching uranium following the U.S. strike that killed top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani.

The European countries said they had “sought to persuade Iran to change course” and “worked hard” to address its concerns. They said there were, however, few options left, given Iran’s decision, except to trigger a dispute mechanism in the 2015 nuclear deal.
