title: EU-Iran Relations after the Nuclear Deal.
abstract: The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between Iran and global powers, signed in July 2015, was a turning point in the emerging strategic landscape of the Middle East. The ‘nuclear deal’ led to the lifting by the EU and the US of nuclear-related sanctions, and is now operational. Other sanctions remain in place, however. Nevertheless, unhindered by US competition, European trade delegations have entered into a latter-day gold rush, led by the promise of the biggest untapped market in the world.
