German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said this week that a European Union (EU) payment system designed to circumvent US sanctions on Iran will be ready soon, while urging Tehran not to abandon the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers, writes Nassir Shirkhani.
Maas held talks with Iran's President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Tehran as part of European efforts to salvage the historic nuclear deal and try to defuse rising US-Iranian tension.
