The fact is that the European Union is blamed for a nuclear deal with Iran.
Donald Trump stepped at the White House in 2017. Theresa May, the British Prime
Minister, was the first European official to travel to Washington to meet with
the new president of the United States. During this visit, Trump informed
Theresa May mind of his decision on "changing the nuclear deal".
He emphasized that if the nuclear deal is not reviewed and redefined, the United
States will no more remain as a part of it. It was during this visit and among
American senators that Theresa May called the JCPOA a "controversial deal" for
the first time since 2015. In this way, and indirectly, May announced her
company with the United States for changing the JCPOA.
Afterward, it was time for the French President, Emmanuel Macron to take part in
the joint game of London and Washington. In July 2017, Macron assured Trump that
he would do its best to include Iran's missile capability in the context of the
nuclear deal, and thus limit the regional power of Iran.
But Macron never imagined that he had practically turned to Trump's piece in his
confrontation with Iran. In September 2017, and during the United Nations
General Assembly meeting in New York, British and French officials were urged by
the United States to attract Germany's positive stance to participate in the
"West's joint effort to change the JCPOA." Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor,
surrendered to her Western counterparts much earlier than expected.
As a result, by mid-2017, talks between American and European diplomats on
changing the nuclear deal entered a new phase. A deal in which diplomats from
the United States, Germany, France, and Britain, worked on a common goal called
"complementary" or "secondary" agreement aimed at achieving Trump's four
demands.
The EU and, in particular, Germany, Britain, and France, have not taken the
necessary steps to maintain a nuclear deal with Iran after eight months.
Undoubtedly, people like Federica Mogherini, EU foreign policy chief, also
believe in this. Now the "deceived Europe" is trying to maintain the nuclear
deal with Iran. It seems that the European authorities don't intend to confess
that they had been tricked by Trump right now. In this way, they're trying to
keep their prestige, but they can't do it forever, and sooner or later, they
will be forced to do so.
Finally, Iran's patience on the European Union is coming to an end. The European
Union continues to play its ground in the United States. This issue is never
acceptable to Iran. If the European authorities take no serious action to secure
Iran's rights in a nuclear deal, the possibility of our country's departure from
this deal is very high.
