Rouhani tells Merkel EU package is 'disappointing'

LONDON - Europe's package of economic measures to offset the US pullout from the nuclear deal is "disappointing", Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told German Chancellor Angela Merkel by telephone on Thursday.
"Unfortunately the proposed package lacked an action plan or a clear roadmap for continuation of cooperation. It only included some general promises like previous EU statements," Rouhani was quoted as saying by Iran's Tasnim news agency.
