Rumors of War - Persia

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu pressures Europe to quit Iran deal during trip - UPI.com UPI reports: "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spent his three-day trip to Europe attempting to persuade Germany, France and Britain to quit the Iran nuclear deal. Netanyahu, a steadfast opponent of the nuclear deal since it was signed in 2015, accused Iran of 'trying to conquer' the Middle East with its military presence in Syria. The Israeli leader also lobbied European powers to follow the lead of the United States and pull out of the Iran nuclear accord. [...] Tuesday, Iran announced it would begin plans to increase the country's uranium enrichment within the terms of the 2015 agreement following Trump's withdrawal from the accord."

Comment: I don't think he made much headway but he certainly gets points for trying.
