Europe wants to find a quick solution for keeping the Iran nuclear deal intact but isn't ready to provide guarantees yet. That was the message after the foreign ministers of Germany, France, the UK and Iran met in Brussels. CGTN's Jack Parrock reports.

All sides expressed a desire and good will to save the Iran nuclear deal, yet the Europeans still aren't given Iran any guarantees. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says the need to find a quick solution though and to that end the so- called E-3, Germany France and the UK will meet with Iranian officials over the coming two weeks.

FEDERICA MOGHERINI, EU FOREIGN POLICY CHIEF"We reaffirmed together or resolve to continue to implement the nuclear deal in all its parts, in good faith and in a constructive atmosphere, and we agreed to continue to consult intensively at all levels and also with other remaining participants to the joint commission to the JCPOA."

Iranian foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif attending these Brussels meetings after a tour of Moscow and Beijing where he'd received similar assurances from China and Russia - as signatories -said they'll work to uphold the deal.

MOHAMMAD JAVAD ZARIF, IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER "We are going to see whether the political will that has been expressed by the remaining participants in JCPOA can be translated into specific action."

President Donald Trump didn't only announce the U.S. is pulling out of the accord and reimposing sanctions on Tehran, but also that businesses that continue their operations in Iran will also face sanctions. Trump pulled out because the deal didn't look at leverage and the sanctions threat against Iran's regional influence - especially in countries like Syria and Yemen. The Europeans say the Iran deal provides more chances to open avenues for discussion with Iran on other issues but Iran doesn't seem open to negotiations on that which could hinder progress in the coming weeks. What Iran does want is for the five countries remaining in the deal and the EU to find some way of compensating for the U.S. pull out and its effects on the Iranian economy. Keeping this deal alive is going to take a major diplomatic effort over the next couple of weeks.
