European Union leaders say it is too early to discuss lifting sanctions on Iran, underlining a cautious approach as conflict and diplomatic uncertainty continue in the Middle East. Senior officials, including EU Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, stressed that any sanctions relief would depend on meaningful progress toward a comprehensive agreement.
The stance comes amid ongoing tensions involving Iran, including disruptions to global energy routes and stalled negotiations with the United States. While some European leaders have hinted sanctions could eventually be eased, the bloc remains focused on security concerns, regional stability, and nuclear commitments—highlighting the broader geopolitical stakes for global markets and international diplomacy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
