Iran nuclear accord not ideal, but best to stick with it: Merkel

Sofian Khan: The most appropriate way to address the rest of the world of Iran’s role in the region and its ballistic missile program is within its nuclear deal framework, even after  US pulled out.German Chancellor Angela Merkel while talking to the lawmakers in the Bundestag lower house of parliament said, “The question is whether you can talk better if you terminate an agreement or if you stay in it, we say you can talk better if you remain in it.”European powers have promised to move on with the 2015 nuclear deal without US by trying to keep Iran’s oil and investment flowing, but admitted they would struggle to provide the guarantees Tehran seeks.”This agreement is everything other than ideal, but Iran is, according to all the knowledge of the international nuclear authorities, sticking to the commitments of the agreement,” said Merkel.
