Paris: France's foreign minister said Tuesday that Iran would be making a "serious mistake" by violating the 2015 nuclear deal in response to pressure from the United States.

"French, German and British diplomacy is completely mobilised to make Iran understand that it would not be in its interest," Jean-Yves Le Drian told parliament amid reports that Iran was preparing to abandon its commitments.
