European diplomats are pressing Iran and the United States to restart negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear programme but privately concede the prospects for a deal are minimal, according to a Washington Post report cited by several outlets on 4 July. Officials said Europe risks being sidelined in the diplomacy and disputed former U.S. President Donald Trump’s assertion that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been eliminated. They warned that only a narrow window remains to revive an agreement that would place limits on Iran’s atomic activities.
