Still hope10 May 2018 20:03
What are the options?
There is still some hope for Iran's trading partners, as the other parties to the 2015 nuclear agreement - the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany - have pledged their continuing support for the deal.
The US government has said that exemptions for those dealing with Iran are possible, although it has not yet given any details about which companies could benefit.
If that fails, the EU could also use a blocking statute to protect companies conducting business with Iran from US sanctions, as it did when it lifted its own sanctions on Cuba.
