ISTANBUL (AA) - Foreign ministers from France, the UK, Germany, and the EU said on Friday that they held a joint call with their Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, to express concerns over Tehran's nuclear activities and warned that sanctions could be reimposed soon.

French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the discussion included UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.

“We just made an important call to our Iranian counterpart regarding the nuclear program and the sanctions against Iran, which we are preparing to reimpose,” Barrot wrote on the US social media company X.

“Time is running out. A new meeting will take place next week on this subject.”
