Iran Policy

  • A veteran diplomat who was a former US envoy to Israel has quitted Biden's team at the nuclear talks to restore the 2015 deal with Iran.

  • The EU could use the “blocking regulation”, applied in the 1990s as a counter to US sanctions, which would bar European firms from complying with unilateral, extra-territorial American measures, and allow the “claw-back” of fines imposed by US regulatorsThe EU could go further, taking its case to the World Trade Organization or retaliating against American business in Europe.
