The three major European powers - Britain, France, and Germany - must stay united on Iran, said a French official on Friday, speaking as world powers prepared to discuss relations with that country and other issues at the G7 summit.

"It's important to keep the E3 together on Iran," said the official, adding that France expected Britain to stick to its "usual positions" on Iran and other matters including climate change and biodiversity.
