Iran sets May 31 deadline in scramble to salvage nuclear deal
2018-05-26
[Ynet] European powers have until May 31 to present Iran with a plan to offset the US pullout from its nuclear deal and Washington's renewed sanctions, a senior Iranian official said, with Tehran "weeks" away from deciding whether to quit the pact.

The 2015 agreement between Iran and world powers lifted international sanctions on Tehran. In return, Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear activities, increasing the time it would need to produce an atom bomb if it chose to do so.

Since President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
withdrew the United States this month, calling the agreement deeply flawed, European states have been scrambling to ensure Iran gets enough economic benefits to persuade it to stay in the deal.

#4  ...I suspect the Iranian position right now is, "The EU stays in the deal on the original terms, or we shut you out completely."

Coming under the heading of 'no-win scenario'...

#1  So the EU does enough business with Iran to justify losing most of it’s trade with the USA?
