Brussels: EU foreign affairs head Federica Mogherini on Monday insisted the bloc will stand by the Iran nuclear accord, bluntly condemned by US President-elect Donald Trump, because it serves Europe’s security needs.
“It is proof that diplomacy works and delivers… The European Union will continue to work for the respect and implementation of this extremely important deal, most of all for our security,” Mogherini said as she went into an EU foreign ministers meeting.
