Leaders of the US, UK, France, and Germany discuss Iran's nuclear issue.
The leaders of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany held a phone call whereby they discussed efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the White House said on Sunday.
"In addition, they discussed ongoing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, the need to strengthen support for partners in the Middle East region, and joint efforts to deter and constrain Iran’s destabilizing regional activities," the White House said in its description of the call among the four.
The White House provided no additional information about the Middle Eastern portion of the meeting between US President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Game over
As it seems, the nuclear agreement currently taking shape with Iran is worse than the agreement that former Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu encouraged former US President Donald Trump to withdraw from in 2018, Deputy Israeli Security Minister Alon Schuster said on Saturday, as quoted by Israeli media.
"The security establishment is gravely concerned over the status-quo," Schuster told Israeli Channel 12.
"We are not a party to the agreement, but we warn our partners on several issues, and we will use the remaining time to prepare important military options."
The Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid had previously said "the nuclear agreement that is taking shape with Iran is worse than the previous agreement."

Washington commented by saying the US is ready to seal the deal and that all that can be negotiated has already been.
