Pompeo threatens to enforce Iran sanctions as Europe protects business interests, deal

Washington, Dec 13 (Xinhua) US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that the United States intends to enforce the re-imposed sanctions lifted under the Iran nuke deal with "great rigor" against any party violating them.
The remarks came after European nations expressed their continued support for the historic deal and confirmation of Iran's implementation of its nuclear-related commitments under the deal soon after a UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting on Iran held on the same day.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said earlier this month that Europe will finalize a cooperation mechanism for facilitating mutual financial transactions "soon" to avoid the US banking sanctions on Iran. The special purpose vehicle (SPV), designed to allow European companies to bypass the US sanctions, was due to be set up by the EU within the next few months.
