Intl Community Urged Iran to Drop Measures

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and British PM Boris Johnson urged Iran to drop measures that go against the deal.

"We are ready to continue talks with all parties in order to contribute to de-escalating tensions and re-establishing stability in the region," they said in a joint statement late on Sunday.

Earlier on Sunday Mr Johnson said "we will not lament" the death of Soleimani, describing him as "a threat to all our interests".

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has invited Iran's Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, to visit Brussels to discuss both the nuclear deal and how to defuse the crisis over the Soleimani assassination.
