German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel has promised to press Washington loosen its economic restrictions on Iran, as it promised to do as part of last year\u2019s nuclear deal.<\/p>\n

During a public speech during a landmark two-day economic cooperation visit to Tehran, Gabriel said Germany intends to\u00a0“remind the United States of the commitment to get to an effective dismantling of sanctions.”<\/p>\n

The SPD politician, who also serves as Germany\u2019s Vice Chancellor, said that Washington\u00a0\u201cshould act on its responsibilities concerning Iran so the outcome of the nuclear deal becomes visible in Iran.”<\/p>\n

For its part, Germany said it planned to sign 10 key deals, and boost economic turnover with Iran by \u20ac2.5 billion, as a result of the visit, during which 120 senior business leaders joined Gabriel.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s banks, oil producers and government had been under severe economic restrictions from the US following the Islamic Revolution, which had been subsequently tightened several times, as a reaction to the country\u2019s nuclear program, and ostensible support for organizations Washington classifies as terrorists, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

Many of those, and others imposed by the EU and the UN, were officially lifted in January this year, after Iran was adjudged to have been following the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPA) \u2013 an agreement between Iran and China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States, Germany and the EU – that promised more favorable economic conditions in exchange for greater restrictions and tighter supervision of the country\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n

But according to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, the implementation of the sanctions reprieve has been\u00a0\u201cflawed.\u201d\u00a0Most problematically, many European banks are still reluctant to do business inside Iran, as they fear this may endanger their dealings with US financial institutions that are still banned from having dealings with the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n

But the US said that it is fulfilling its state obligations, and it is now down to individual companies if they want to invest in Iran. Last week, US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said that Iran\u2019s oil exports were\u00a0\u201cessentially back to pre-sanctions levels”\u00a0\u2013 Washington and Brussels imposed an embargo on Iranian petrochemicals in 2012 \u2013 and said that the Islamic Republic was now the beneficiary of\u00a0\u201ca considerable additional cash flow.”<\/p>\n
