Reuters - German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel called on the United States to consider the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran as a separate issue from Tehran�s ballistic weapons program and its role in Syria�s proxy war.
Speaking before a meeting with his counterparts from Iran, Britain and France and the European Union�s top diplomat, Gabriel said: �We should separate two things from each other: we want to preserve the nuclear deal with Iran... and the difficult role Iran has in the region.�
Gabriel, who has been outspoken in his criticism of U.S. foreign policy since President Donald Trump took office a year ago, said the United States was right to address concerns about Iran�s strategy in the Middle East.
