EU Summit Decides to Back Iran Deal: Macron

Participants of the EU summit have decided to support the Iran nuclear deal and protect European businesses from the US steps, French President Emmanuel Macron said, as he arrived for the EU-Western Balkans summit in Sofia on Thursday.

“We had a substantive discussion on Iran. The 2015 deal is an important element of peace and security in the region, and we decided to back it regardless of the US decision. We promised to take political measures allowing our enterprises to remain in Iran,” Macron said. (TASS)
