Tehran issues deadline for bypass to US sanctions
Iran is stepping up its pressure on Europe to devise a successful workaround that will provide economic relief from US sanctions.
Iran announced Aug. 5 that it will give Europe one month to rescue it from economically devastating US sanctions before Tehran pulls back further from its commitments under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The United States unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear deal in May 2018, saying Iran was not complying.
