IRAN/REX TILLERSON/STATE: “U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called on European allies to work with Washington to tackle Iran’s missile program and its regional activities, saying Tehran’s behavior cannot go unanswered.
Speaking in Brussels alongside European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, Mr. Tillerson said Iran’s interference in Yemen, its exporting of weapons and militias to Syria and its support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah group pose a threat to the region…
Ms. Mogherini said the EU was willing to work on these issues with Washington but made it clear that joint action depended on the U.S. continuing to abide by the Iranian nuclear deal. President Donald Trump has strongly criticized the nuclear deal and has asked Congress to tighten the terms under which the U.S. abides by the deal.”
