Summary/Abstract: As widely expected, President Donald Trump decided to withdraw the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran. America also has begun to reinstate sanctions on Iran that were suspended under the deal, a move perceived as an exacerbation of U.S. policy towards that country. However, the Trump administration did not present any strategy for further action. It might be in Iran’s interest, at least in short term, to continue to honour the limits on its nuclear programme. And, it is necessary to ease the tensions on the Iranian issue between the U.S. administration and EU institutions and some of its Member States.
