Germany's Maas says Iran nuclear deal still makes sense

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Germany's foreign minister said he believed the Iran nuclear deal was still relevant and European ministers would reaffirm their commitment to the accord despite Tehran vowing to scrap uranium enrichment limits enshrined in the pact.

"We believe that this (nuclear) deal makes sense because it binds Iran into not developing any nuclear weapons. So we want this agreement to have a future, but it only has a future if it is adhered to and we expect this from Iran," Heiko Maas told reporters on arrival in Brussels for a European Union foreign ministers meeting.
