you do realize iran is trying to get the maximum influence by destabilizing its neighbours ( such a lebanon and yemen), in a region crippled by war for centuries, while at the same time oppressing its own people (and women in particular) ?

i really don’t think europe should go to economical war against the US to save this regime’s *ss and sell them a few cars. Note that my reasoning would be absolutely identical if US decided to do the same with saudi arabia...

That's the thing, though. Iran clearly isn't some redeemable den of evil, the populace used to be both well-educated and friendly towards the west. It might take a (democratic) regime change to restore relations to anywhere near "good", but at this rate you could say the same about the US.
