Back in 2018 when the United States pulled out of that 2015 Nuclear Deal Iran gave the European Countries those 3 European Countries one year to come up with a way around u. S. Sanctions so the deal could be maintained that the europeans were able to do that to iran set of satisfactory standards so iran started stepping back in its in its commitment to that deal now what has angered and frustrated the iranians is other than what they see as noncompliance do agreements these 3 European Countries put forward a motion to the International AtomicEnergy Agency asking for axe.
