added,We discussed again the situation in Iran. Obviously, this is also be part of our discussion on Syria. And I expect here that the Member States will reiterate our strong, unequivocal commitment to the full implementation of the nuclear deal with Iran by all sides.
Obviously, the E3 [France, Germany, United Kingdom] will share with the other Ministers their efforts, in particular with the American administration. I will debrief also on the work we are doing with the other international players that are key to the deal, and obviously our ongoing work with Iran to keep up compliance to the deal.
Before the meeting, the German foreign minister told reporters that the deal should be kept and the three European foreign ministers would continue negotiations with Americans.
