European Allies Warn of Risks in Potentially Rushed US-Iran Nuclear Framework Deal

European allies, including diplomats from France, Britain, and Germany, have expressed concerns that the U.S. is pursuing a rushed framework deal with Iran on its nuclear program and sanctions relief. They fear such a quick agreement could be superficial, leading to prolonged and difficult follow-up negotiations. The White House rejects these criticisms, emphasizing that President Trump prioritizes U.S. interests. Talks resumed recently in Islamabad amid ongoing mistrust and differing negotiation approaches.
