France,
Britain and Germany have told the grieving Iran to refrain from any violent
action and respect arrangements laid out in the JCPOA 2015 nuclear deal with
world powers.
Iran on Sunday
threatened to attack the US White House, following warning of retaliation by
President Donald Trump.
Just last
night, multiple rockets were launched near the US embassy in Baghdad Iraq.
This is
coming few hours after Trump had vowed to attack 54 important sites in Iran if
they attacked any US assets or citizens, and also declared readiness for war.
France,
Germany and Britain also highlighted the importance of de-escalating tensions
in Iraq and Iran.
The three
countries reaffirmed their determination to fight Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL or ISIS).
“We reaffirm
our commitment to continuing the fight against Islamic State, which remains a
priority. It is essential that we keep the coalition, in this regard.
“We call on
the Iraqi authorities to continue to supply the necessary support to the
coalition,” the trio said in a statement, according to Al Jazeera.
“We are
ready to continue talks with all parties in order to contribute to de-escalating
tensions and re-establishing stability in the region.”
The office
of French President Emmanuel Macron added that he was expected to hold talks
with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the coming days.
The killing
of Qassem Soleimani, an Iranian army chief and some other top officials of the
country’s military by the US government has generated a wide range of reactions
from world leaders.
