Mogherini has insisted the nuclear deal is working, while the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says Iran is complying. “Non-proliferation is a major element of world security and rupturing that would be extremely damaging,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told reporters. At their meeting in Luxembourg, the EU’s foreign ministers are also due to approve a new round of economic sanctions on North Korea after Pyongyang’s nuclear test last month.
