The European Union is not doing enough to preserve the benefits for Iran from the 2015 international nuclear pact following the withdrawal of the United States, Iran’s foreign minister told the EU’s energy chief on Sunday.Miguel Arias Canete, European Commissioner for energy and climate, said Tehran wanted the 28-nation bloc to act fast to preserve its oil trade with Iran, and to consider making direct euro-denominated payments for Iranian oil to Iran’s central bank, bypassing the U.S. financial system.
“With the withdrawal of America .... the European political support for the accord is not sufficient,” Mohammad Javad Zarif told Arias Canete in Tehran, Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported.
Since President Donald Trump announced on May 8 that he would pull the United States out of the deal, the U.S. Treasury said Washington would reimpose a wide array of Iran-related sanctions after the expiry of 90- and 180-day wind-down periods, including sanctions aimed at Iran’s oil sector and transactions with its central bank.
The EU leaders have pledged to try to keep Iran’s oil trade and investment flowing, but conceded that would not be easy.

Sorry all those armaments blew up over the weekend, Iran.
Euroweenies...lol
If there was ever an example case study of “Feeding the alligators, hoping they eat you last”?.......this is it.
Sadat felt the same way amongst Arabs when he went to Camp David. LOL
Note to the Euroweenies: Should’ve brought a longer spoon.
The EU is melting.
Gee, that’s a shame. /s
The Mullahs are not “Feelin’ the Love” anymore. It is only going to go downhill from here for ya, ya pack of knuckle-dragging wankers.
“The EU leaders have pledged to try to keep Iran’s oil trade and investment flowing, but conceded that would not be easy.”
Sanction them, too.

Why wouldn’t the Rooskies support an oil embargo from Iran to help their own exports?
Depending on the day, Iran threatens to out officials who received bribes to support the JCPOA, or it threatens to cut off oil deals to the EU. Neither argument is worth the time of day. It would be of great service to all if the corrupt officials were identified publicly. As to oil, the USA has or soon will be a net exporter of oil, and the Saudi’s probably would be happy to increase production to hurt the iranians. While all this is going on, Iran continues to destabilize the Middle East, and to kill its own people who are tired of the mullahs corruption. It really is time for regime change.
“The EU leaders have pledged to try to keep Iran’s oil trade and investment flowing, but conceded that would not be easy.”
Iran is pi$$ing into the wind again! We need to work behind the scenes now to collapse the Mullahs and return Iran to the prosperous secular nation it was pre-Kohmeni
“Depending on the day, Iran threatens to out officials who received bribes to support the JCPOA”
Bring it Towelheads! I know I’d like to know who the traitors are in our midst!
HA HA HA HA!
The Yurps are completely feckless. This has been the case for a long time. Sorry Mullahs, they just wanted your blood money. Their companies however know exactly which side their bread is buttered on and America’s market is vastly bigger than yours so........
The mullahs apparently like to pay the Rooskies for nuk-you-leer tech.
It doesn’t make long term sense to sell the Iranians the weapons they will eventually use on the Rooskies.
