1. That picture says it all..

The cringeworthy smiles and bodylanguage..quick pass the sick bag

Just watch the grin of a smug and slimy Tubby Stubby Zarif (Irans gift to women) who believes Mogherinini has succumbed to his charms and is getting an easy ride, taking everything he says at face value and ignoring all of Irans serious misdemeanours in the region
2. Pity EU never has/had any "humanitarian"tzatzkes for Jews

5. Europeans never could be trusted.

Britain really doesn't have any other worries than keeping trade deals with Iran......LOL.

France is only it's usual self in being the prostitute.

Germany selling principles & morals for money is what Germans do.

Going behind the US back won't be appreciated in Washington and will (hopefully) come with a price.

The fact that Iran is threatening Israel with destruction on a monthly basis doesn't worry these three stooges
6. If oil transactions could be channeled through this spv it

will be useless and irans hardliners will cry foul. It's more a political message but it is too little too late, it won't impact the business community and the situation will deteriorate in iran. The mullahs are fighting for their survival so I predict that Iran will exit the JCPOA soon but they will do so once they have enough leverage to negotiate a grand bargain on their survival...
7. As much as I despise EU, I can relate to the self serving
(01.31.19)
interest they’re admitting to.
8. Mogherini is always beaming in the presence of Zarif and co.
Jake   (01.31.19)
Any West-hating, US-loathing, Israel-threatening Islamic politician turns Mogherini into an excited giggling schoolgirl.
9. Federica Mogherini always has time for Iran !

10. They must've done their math and came out on top! ?!

11. Europe cannot defeat the United States
C   (01.31.19)
europe has lost all wars for centuries.

europe needs to understand that trump is not the marxist pro-islamist obama.
12. Do the Europeans really think they'll escape heavy penalty?
Cameron   (02.01.19)
Unwise maneuver.
13. EU GETTING RID OF THEIR UNWANTED SURPLUS FOOD FOR IRAN OIL
EZEKIAL HAIM ,   LONDON   (02.01.19)
The EU for decades has had mountains of surplus food which gets destroyed.Antone remember the butter mountains,the lakes of milk,the piles of old fungated beef.These will now be feeding the Iranians in exchange for oil hungry EU.The Iranians will then get more western diseases and need more European medicines.Nice exploitative deal.The EU is economically colonizing Iran.We are back to the opium wars.
14. Trump America and Israel think they can beat anyone.

15. SPV only for small transactions-like a little bit pregnant
Alan ,   SA   (02.02.19)
16. General “mouchakzadeh” has unveiled a new missile
Tehraniporou   (02.02.19)
With that amazing technology it will explode upon launch or land in alborz. Conventional défense is legitimate but the economy should have the priority. Imbéciles of the regime change your stupid policy before iran becomes the Sahara. The economy has finally reached the high standards of Zimbabwe. You just need to “Islamise” the landscape and we will cross out iran as a county
17. BASICALLY EU DOES NOT CARE HOW MULLAHS TOTURE
Iraninian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (02.04.19)
Their own people. It just wants to make its money. And they have the audacity to criticize Trump over Iran. EU just give lip service of human rights to the world, but does the exact opposite where it can make money. The French Obama wanna be was just in Egypt trying to sell human rights while Iranians are tortured daily by the same government they protect all day long.
