Germany and most of the EU members declared that they are against the US-sanctions targeting Iran. I wonder how and why all trades with Iran are involving US credit institutes and why trades in Euro seem impossible for the EU. Fear against US sanctions alone targeting EU companies cannot explain this. Moreover, Iran would be willing to accept Euro.
