Europe is on the verge of abandoning its role of a mediator between the US and Iran and instead handing the Iran nuclear file over to Donald Trump's veto, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said in an interview with the Guardian in Tehran. Esmail Baghaei said that as soon as UN-wide sanctions are reimposed at Europe's demand in less than 30 days, the US will regain its security council veto over what happens next, including the continuance of the sanctions.
