and isn’t/wasn’t this the reason the germans were so in favor of this “agreement”?? they got first dibs and the lions share of trade with iran??
Virtually every single EU member was making money off this deal (not just the Germans).
Both Boeing and Airbus are set to lose a 40-billion dollar deal here. Iran state airlines are in dismal shape and were counting on a new asset situation to reset their travel industry.

The thing about this...there were tons of jobs and better economic conditions coming to regular working-class Iranians. While peeved at Trump....they also have to be peeved at the Mullahs and the way this whole thing has screwed them over.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner!
The Pakistani nuke program, Saddam Hussein's WMD programs, tech transfer to the Soviet Union: wherever you look, our European "allies" are selling us out and transferring weapons technology or dual use technology.
And the Germans are the worst of the lot.
