Iranian FM tours globe to salvage JCPOA

The Trump administration has made its stance toward Iran even clearer than before; waging economic terrorism on Iran, sending aircraft carriers to the Persian Gulf and trying to bully its allies into following suit.
By doing so Washington has forced the remaining JCPOA signatories and all Iran’s trade partners to pick a side. And it seems the Trump administration is becoming increasingly isolated.
Iran’s stance is also very clear. The US must lift all the sanctions if it wants talks, and the EU will have to step up its game and protect Iran from US aggression if it wants Iran to stay in the nuclear deal.
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is on an international tour the results of which could determine the fate of the JCPOA.
Norway will be Zarif’s last stop in Scandinavia. He’ll then be on his way to Central Asia and the Caucasus as well as several African countries.
Meanwhile back home, Tehran is preparing to take the "third step" in reducing its commitments to the JCPOA. Iran announced in May it would stop abiding by restrictions on its stocks of enriched uranium and heavy water agreed under the deal if global heavy weights did not stand up to what Zarif describes as economic terrorism.
