Why it would be self-defeating for the US to scrap the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA)
The United States does not hesitate to “put America first” and impose tariffs on steel from the EU and from China. There is no reason why the EU should not stand up for its interests by sticking to a landmark deal with Iran that has resolved the nuclear dispute and has opened the door for trade between Iran and European countries. If European powers give in again to American demands as they did in 2003 when Iran offered a nuclear deal, this will not be the last time and the Trump Administration will ask for more, because they have openly stated that their aim is to bring about regime change in Iran. The Middle East has got enough problems without wanting to add to them. Europe should stand firm in the face of unreasonable US demands and should uphold the nuclear deal.
