It is unlikely that the EU will agree to fix those flaws in time, but Britain, France and Germany hope that these additional sanctions will buy them more time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not all the EU countries could agree and sanctions will continue into next week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A decision is likely to come sooner rather than later, as the last formal gathering on the EU agenda before May 12 is the EU foreign ministers&#8217; meeting in Luxembourg on April 16.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One diplomat\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/world\/articles\/2018-03-28\/eu-envoys-discuss-new-iran-sanctions-possible-adoption-in-april-diplomats\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>: &#8220;The idea is to have a final decision on Iran sanctions by or at the April Foreign Affairs Council.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But another diplomat said that it would take more time to convince all EU members states to agree to the sanctions. This could mean that the EU will have to convene an interim meeting in late April or early May.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Previous Meetings<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the EU foreign ministers met last week in Brussels, they also discussed sanctions against Iranian regime for its role in Syria&#8217;s seven-year war.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">France\u2019s Jean-Yves Le Drian urged them to also consider sanctions on Iran for its &#8220;proliferation of ballistic missiles and very questionable role in the near- and Middle East.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Evidence of this can be seen in the missile attacks against Saudi Arabia by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, which killed a man in Riyadh on Sunday. It is believed that, as in previous attacks, the missiles are Iranian made and may have even been directed by Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI &ndash;&nbsp;The UK, France, and Germany proposed new sanctions on Iran to their EU partners on Wednesday, as part of a bid to stop Donald Trump from pulling out of [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[258],"class_list":{"0":"post-24534","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-iran-a-world","7":"tag-iran-sanctions"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
