Iran warns Europeans of ‘consequences’ in nuclear dispute

Iran warned the United Kingdom, France and Germany about “the consequences” of their decision to launch a dispute mechanism against it under the 2015 nuclear deal.

The European nations announced on Tuesday they triggered the dispute mechanism provided for in the landmark nuclear agreement in order to force Iran to honour its commitments under the accord.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said triggering the mechanism was a “strategic mistake”.
