France, Britain, Germany ‘regret’ U.S. end to Iran nuclear waivers

France, Germany and Britain on Saturday criticised a U.S. decision to end sanctions waivers allowing work on Iranian nuclear sites designed to prevent weapons development.

“We deeply regret the U.S. decision to end the three waivers,” the three European countries said in a joint statement.

“These projects, endorsed by U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, serve the non-proliferation interests of all and provide the international community with assurances of the exclusively peaceful and safe nature of Iranian nuclear activities.”
