The story of Iran and unreliable Europe

TEHRAN (Basirat) :Germany's Foreign Minister, Sigmar Gabriel, in a recent meeting with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, has stated that Germany wants to maintain a nuclear deal with Iran, but is also prepared to push Tehran with France, Britain and the United States to execute all details of the agreement!There are some points about the German Foreign Minister's remarks that can not be easily overlooked.

First, since the signing of the nuclear deal, the Treasury Department of the United States has prevented the normalization of banking and business relations between Iran and European countries. However, not only the European Troika has not taken action against the Washington, but has actually been associated with it.
European officials are well aware that the congressional sanctions against Iran, the US Treasury blocking the normalization of banking relations with Iran, the creation of visa restrictions for those who travel to Iran, and the extension of the ISA law are all violations of the JCPOA. However, Germany, France and Britain have preferred instead to face up to these issues to complete the puzzle of the US game in confrontation with Iran.
The second point is that recent comments by Sigmar Gabriel have been delivered as Trump stepped down to overturn the nuclear deal. As news sources report, the US president is planning to announce Iran's lack of compliance in his October report to Congress. In such a situation, the remarks of the German Foreign Minister are worth considering! German co-operation with anti-Iranian policies of the United States once again showed that European Troika is unreliable. This is also true of a nuclear deal with Iran.
Undoubtedly, the statements of the European authorities regarding adherence to the JCPOA are not in line with their own practice. Federica Mogrenini, the EU's foreign policy chief, has repeatedly spoken out of adhering to a nuclear deal, but in practice, she has not acted in a bid to halt US actions.
Now, the Islamic Republic of Iran is facing tensions with the United States, Germany, France and Britain for a nuclear deal. Obviously, the European Troika was unsuccessful in containing the United States. An issue that public opinion in Iran and the world are aware of that.
