The move is a direct rebuke of President Trump’s policy on Iran and his decision to withdraw from the nuclear deal

EU and Iran agree on new payment system to skirt US sanctions - That at itself is sanction worthy and if not, its at least opening the door for the U.S. leaving Europe at the mercy of its potential enemies Russia, China and Iran as expected. Another step into WW III

But they can't have a trade deal with the UK? Speaks a lot about the EU's intention

These ultra left globalists now look so absurd that it's unreal. Really?! The Iranian economy is so valuable in trade that you will drop all dignity to maintain it...

EU supporting a state that supports terrorists. Seems similar to 1914 and 1939 not confronting Germany

barbaraslavin1 EU has no moral compass, supporting the most brutal regime in the world today. The Iranian people want freedom and will not forget those supporting their oppressors today.

Have the EU members really not learned from their own history the consequences of supporting genocidal regimes?

EU our alleged NATO allies are at it again stabbing USA in the back. About time we left NATO and EU stands on its own 2 feet

“Rebuke”, more like doing business with a state sponsor of terrorism for the money. Do us a favor WSJ, does every headline have to be anti-Trump even when it’s painfully obvious he’s right?

Freedom? But u cant take off ur hajib.

Translation: "We know they're using oil proceeds to fuel insurgencies across the region but we're gonna go ahead and turn a blind eye to all that because we don't want to admit that Trump is right and the Iran deal is deeply flawed."

Iran is the largest State-sponsor of terrorism on the planet and has done nothing but undermine peaceful efforts in the Middle-East. There is no such thing as legitimate business with Iran.

So now the largest State Sponsor of terrorism has a very large State Sponsor to sponsor the largest State Sponsor of terrorism. Where does that leave the EU? Guilty by funding and association! Brexit has really got to get going in the remainder of the EU!

Typical EU response! Not very smart.

Don’t ever come running here looking for help from the US. Nope. Done.

There is no European Union. We are the game of America and its allies

Good luck convincing any big company to risk transactions that will cause the US to eject them from international banking.

Maybe Europe can pay for their own defense now.

RichardGrenell Time to put up the pressure again.

More sanctions coming. theresa_may EmmanuelMacron AngelaMerkeICDU POTUS netanyahu PaoloGentiloni marianorajoy VP SenateMajLdr SpeakerRyan

Good work Europe! Trump can’t force the world to do what he wants.

They can all enjoy sanctions while they do business with the terrorist regime. Kind of like doing business with Nazi Germany in the 1930's.

Despite of EU's will, companies have no interest to remain in Iran

Good. About time the EU stood up to a fanatical bully.

만의 하나 도널드트럼프대통령께서 이란 핵협정을 폐기하지 않았다면 ..언론은 어떻게 반응 하였을까요? 만약에, 트럼프대통령께서 이란과의 모든 핵협정을 제개하지 않았다면 너희 주류언론들은 어떻게 반응 하였을까요? 대통령을 언론이 좌지우지한다? 어디, 해봅시다...

I hope the US sanction these companies and make them layoff ppl people in EU so the leaders there know it’s not worth it to stand with bloody regime like Iran

Many EU companies simply won't deal with Iran due to the threat of imposed sanctions against them by the US gov. They would be wise not to deal with Iran. EU simply can't compete with the US financial $ system (worldwide payments).

Good, seems like Russia, China, France and the UK are against Trump regarding the Iran deal as well. At least Trump has made friends with North Korea.

EU is cannibalizing.

It fails. It backfires. I'm from the future.
