Mr. Pompeo underlined that the United States and its European allies share strong interests in preventing Iran from ever developing a nuclear weapon and in countering the Iranian regime’s destabilizing activities in the region, said spokeswoman Heather Nauert in a statement. The Secretary said Washington is working to reach a bigger deal with European partners toward a more effective agreement on Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.
