EARTH – Multiple worldwide leaders were systematically recalled to their capital cities on July 2nd for emergency meetings. Initially began as a notice of Vice President Mike Pence canceled a meeting in New Hampshire to return to the White House has turned into reports of multiple nations holding similar emergency meetings.
Russian President was expected to meet with defense minister Sergei Shoigu after a tragic submarine accident killed 14 Russian sailors, until the meeting was canceled in favor of another emergency meeting with his top defense chiefs.
The White House has denied claims that the VP even left the White House for the scheduled appearance, leading to mass confusion about what is going on with the simultaneous worldwide meetings.
However, within the past 15 minutes, the first major announcement from the EU has surfaced regarding the likely cause of meeting: The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed that Iran has violated its nuclear agreement with the US and EU.
According to the British Government, a joint statement was issued concerning the event:
In a joint statement France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the European External Action Service said:
The Foreign Ministers of France, Germany, the UK, and the High Representative are extremely concerned at Iran’s announcement that it has exceeded the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action stockpile limit for low enriched uranium. The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed this information.
We have been consistent and clear that our commitment to the nuclear deal depends on full compliance by Iran. We regret this decision by Iran, which calls into question an essential instrument of nuclear non-proliferation.
We urge Iran to reverse this step and to refrain from further measures that undermine the nuclear deal. We are urgently considering next steps under the terms of the JCPoA in close coordination with other JCPoA participants.
