brussels - The United Kingdom, France and Germany have prepared new European sanctions against Iran. The measures are a response to Tehran's role in the conflict in Syria and to ballistic missile tests, according to a confidential document that Reuters news agency has recognized and has been sent to all EU Member States.

With the new measures, the three European countries hope to meet the United States, so that the country abides by the international agreement on curbing Iran's nuclear program. On Monday, the European foreign ministers will meet on the new sanctions, which would be directed against specific Iranian persons and entities.

The Iran agreement, in which Tehran promises to phase out the nuclear program in exchange for the withdrawal of economic sanctions, was closed in 2015 after years of negotiations. US President Donald Trump wants the nuclear deal to be adjusted.
