By EUobserver
EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has called a snap meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels on Friday "to discuss recent developments on Iraq and Iran", he said Monday. The "EU will play its full role to seek de-escalation of tensions in the region," he added. Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg also urged Tehran not to abandon a nuclear non-proliferation deal despite the recent US slaying of its top general.
