Firstly, as the more than a ton of documents the Mossad stole from Iran right out from under the Mullah’s noses makes clear, Iran was not complying. It was cheating all along.
Secondly, what has so-called “constructive engagement” actually done to get Iran to moderate its behavior as you in Germany have been so fond of claiming? Its proxies are engaged in military conflict throughout the middle east from Yemen to Syria to Lebannon.
All your trade with them has done is line your own pockets and helped prop up the brutal theocracy which is antithetical to the values you CLAIM to hold. As for enhancing security, ask anybody in the region if that deal enhanced their security. Ask the Saudis. Ask the gulf states. Ask the Israelis.
This is just another transparent attempted money grab by you Yurps. We’re out - and European companies like Maersk, all the major banks etc etc were smart enough to recognize already that the US market is far more valuable than the Iran market. You can huff and puff all you like but there is NOTHING you can do about the US requiring companies to choose which market they would rather do business with.
And of course, they want to punish Israel for exposing all of that by continuing to be the propaganda mouthpiece for the “Palestinians” among other vile things.
Forecast for EU: PAIN.
