Iran gives Europe two months to save nuclear deal
President Hassan Rouhani says fresh breaches of accord will not take place for two months
Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, has given Europe a two-month deadline to save a nuclear deal with the announcement that “extraordinary” steps away from the deal set to be revealed this week will not take effect until later in the year.
French and Iranian diplomats have been holding talks on the future of the deal, which is at risk of unravelling since the US withdrew last year, with a focus on setting up a four month $15bn (£12.3bn) credit line as a prepayment for Iranian oil sales.
