(9 May 2019) European Parliament President Antonio Tajani on Thursday said EU sanctions on Iran could be a possibility if the Islamic Republic doesn't change its position on the nuclear issue.
Tajani made the comments as he arrived with other leaders for the European People's Party (EPP) statutory summit in Romania ahead of an EU summit.
Iran threatened to enrich its uranium stockpile closer to weapons-grade levels in 60 days if world powers fail to negotiate new terms for the 2015 nuclear deal.

Iran partially withdrew from the 2015 accord on Tuesday, one year after the US abandoned the deal.
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said it will stay a difficult issue because the US has a different approach to Europe in regards to dealing with Iran.
