Absolutely not but makes sense for Russia and Europe to form a trade block.

OhOh, what currency do you think the Russians would be paid in for planes, US dollars out, Euros out, [ unless the EU wants a currency war] Russia doesn't need Iran oil, in fact Russia wins on oil sanctions, all this Iranian shit has put up oil, more dollars per barrel.

Do really think the Russians will except Iranian Rials as payment, or may be some of their allies currency.

UN’s top nuclear inspector resigns suddenly

by Associated Press May 12 at 3:11 AM



"BERLIN — The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog says its top inspector has quit with immediate effect, just as the agency’s work in Iran is once again in focus.

The International Atomic Energy Agency didn’t give a reason for the sudden resignation of Tero Varjoranta, stating Saturday that it doesn’t comment on confidential personnel matters.


Varjoranta, who was in the role for almost five years, will be replaced temporarily by Massimo Aparo, an Italian nuclear engineer who was most recently the agency’s top inspector for Iran.


The move comes just days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the United States would withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear accord designed to keep Tehran’s atomic weapons program in check.

The Vienna-based nuclear agency says it has no indications Iran is in breach of the accord."

Needs some quality time with his family no doubt.

German major bank to suspend all transactions with Iran in July

Source:Xinhua Published: 2018/5/19 852

"Germany's second largest lender DZ Bank announced on Friday that it will suspend all financial transactions with Iran starting from July 1, as US exit from the Iran nuclear deal clouded over all businesses with the Middle East country.

"We will completely suspend our foreign payment transactions related to Iran starting July 1," a spokesman for the Frankfurt-based bank said.

DZ Bank is the central institution of Volks-, and Raiffeisenbanken. With more than 1,000 co-operative banks and their 12,000 branch offices, it is the second largest bank by asset in Germany.

It's the first financial institution in Germany which has announced to halt businesses with Iran after US President Donald Trump withdrew from the historical nuclear deal sealed in 2015 and decided to reinstate sanctions against Iran.

Uncertainties among German businesses rose, given that the White House national security advisor John Bolton said "it's possible" that European companies doing business with Iran would be subject to sanctions."

One assumes a rescinding announcement is all that is required to reverse this action?

Europe, China, Russia discussing new deal for Iran

Diplomats from Europe, China and Russia are discussing a new accord to offer Iran financial aid to curb its ballistic missile development and meddling in the region, in the hope of salvaging its 2015 nuclear deal, a German newspaper reported on Sunday.


The officials will meet in Vienna in the coming week under the leadership of senior European Union diplomat Helga Schmid to discuss next steps after the May 8 decision by US President Donald Trump to pull out of a 2015 nuclear accord with Iran, the Welt am Sonntag newspaper said, citing senior EU sources.

Germany, France, Britain, Russia and China would participate in the meeting, but the United States would not, it said. It was not immediately clear if Iran – which has resisted calls to curb its ballistic missile programme in the past – would take part.

Under the 2015 deal, Iran agreed to curb its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of most Western sanctions. One of the main complaints of the Trump administration was that the accord did not cover Iran’s missile programme or its support for armed groups in the Middle East which the West considers terrorists.

Concluding a new agreement that would maintain the nuclear provisions and curb ballistic missile development efforts and Tehran’s activities in the region could help convince Trump to lift sanctions against Iran, the paper said.

“We have to get away from the name ‘Vienna nuclear agreement’ and add in a few additional elements. Only that will convince President Trump to agree and lift sanctions again,” the paper quoted a senior EU diplomat as saying.

No immediate comment was available from the German foreign ministry.

The EU’s energy chief sought to reassure Iran on Saturday that the 28-member bloc remained committed to salvaging the nuclear deal, and strengthening trade with Tehran.

Officials from the EU, Germany and other countries that remain committed to the deal have said it would disastrous if EU efforts fail to preserve it.
Iran has struggled to achieve financial benefits from the deal, partly because remaining unilateral US sanctions over its missile programme deterred major Western investors from doing business with Tehran.

The officials are looking for a new approach given an understanding that it would be difficult for European firms to work around new US sanctions, the newspaper reported.

It said the new deal could include billions of dollars of financial aid for Iran, in line with an EU deal that provided billions in aid to Turkey for taking in millions of migrants and closing its borders, which helped end a 2015 migrant crisis.

Iran and European powers have made a good start in talks over how to salvage the 2015 deal but much depends on what happens in the next few weeks, Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif said last week.

The world desperately needs a second legitimate way of shifting monetary flows internationally- and please, let it be better than Bitcoin.
The American monopoly on this was never meant to be used as a political tool, rather a reflection of what is. They lied, as usual.
China, or a high powered international committee, needs to step up and address this. The USA is abusing it's de facto monopoly to cripple international trade.
Now, of all times, the World needs another choice. This is very very important- which is why you won't see it on CNN.

Pompeo said the Iranian population will decide by themselves (after the worst ever sanctions will be imposed on them) whom they want to have as their leader.
How generous that no pressure on a regime change...
