U.S. loses allies on Iran as Europe launches system to avoid sanctions

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the meeting 'positive' and 'a step forward,' but stated that 'it is still not enough.'

The European Union has officially launched a special trade vehicle designed to allow limited trade with Iran while at the same time avoiding sanctions from the United States.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the meeting"positive" and"a step forward," but stated that"it is still not enough and it is still not meeting Iran's expectations." Ultimately, he said, the final decision would be made back in Tehran. Iran has always denied that it sought nuclear weapons and that its program was explicitly for peaceful purposes. Although the International Atomic Energy Agency repeatedly verified Tehran's compliance with the accord, Trump unilaterally pulled Washington out of the agreement in 2018, setting off a new round of tensions between the longtime rival nations.
