LONDON - Britain, France and Germany have agreed that the nuclear deal that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to scrap remains the best way of stopping Tehran getting nuclear weapons, British Prime Minister Theresa May’s office said on Sunday.

May had phone calls with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel where they agreed the deal may need to be broadened to cover areas such as ballistic missiles, what happens when the deal expires, and what they consider Iran’s destabilizing regional activity.

Macron later spoke with President Hassan Rouhani and agreed to work with him in coming weeks to preserve the nuclear deal, his office said in a statement.

This article was rendered worthless by the extensive Netanyahu presentation of captured Iranian nuclear development documents

Oops!

EU might want to rethink their position after Bibi put the lie to the Iran deal.

“All three of those countries are led by WOMEN.......WEAK WOMEN......WEAK GULLIBLE WOMEN!”

Repeating every word they learned from America’s Great Satan the Fraud for 8 years.

Their mindless supporters are likely deriding their objectors the same way: “You don’t want us to have to go to WAR, do you?!”

Hopefully Trump will tell the Euroweenies that if they do not cooperate in presenting a united front to Iran we will sanction those European companies doing biz with Iran and they can decide whether they wish to do business with megamarket US or corner store Iran. No more free rides under this President, Europe.Time for you to do some heavy lifting.

They had to know what Bibi knew. Was this part of the deception or are they that stupid?

The most important part of the article, the money line. This is just another way of saying they agree with Trump. We need to re-do the deal...

Believers in the Marxist ‘End of History’. They don’t understand that Islam is not just at war with Western Civilization, it is at war with everything not-Islam. Dropping Judeo-Christian morality or even sciences and the arts won’t make Islamics co-exist with Europe or America.

I’d like to know which nations KNEW about Iran’s development activities and signed the deal anyway.

I’m sure Obama knew.

Did he tell our allies?

We’ll know tomorrow by their reactions.

They've actually been trying to write amendments that President Trump would approve.

What a deal....When the 10 year deal runs out, Iran can build all the nukes it wants.

Conveniently forgetting the example set by Brit PM "Peace in our time" Chamberlain. :>(

One thing on what Bibi revealed today, Sec Pompeo just visited Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel, you think this reveal wasn’t timed and coordinated right after Macron and Merkel visited President Trump. Coincidence???

These three countries keep it up, thinking they have some power in this world, and Iran will be broken like Iraq and Syria have been.

Trump's giving Iran a way to stay intact, but the Europeans want to see Iran broken. At least, that's the way I'm reading it.

The EU immediately opened trade deals with Iran that had been forbidden. Below is a top down list and article of what’s at stake for Europe. (Plus, it’s a chance to thumb their noses at Trump.)

Europe has spent 50 years contracepting and aborting itself out of existence.

Now that they’re godless, they just want the cheap labor.

Well since May and team continue to publicly bash Trump, I think Trump should give them the consideration they deserve - NONE.

Here’s what I don’t understand about that imported cheap labor: muslimes DO NOT work. How can you pay someone who doesn’t work? They do nothing but take.

“they agreed the deal may need to be broadened”

Maybe the Euros will play the role of the “Good Cop” in the negotiations with Iran, after Trump takes away their nuclear program in North Korea, and slams Iran’s fragile economy/banking system onto the rocks. A sudden military setback in Syria would rattle them as well.

Iran has got to want to deal, so some pressure will likely be applied.
