Rich nation:-the 2nd biggest crude oil exporter- GDP: 1016 trillion ( the 18th )

Poor country:- Sanctions => losing

60 percent of the currency’s value

- harming especially Iran’s large middle

class ( half of population)

B Bad for European economies

• In fact, the EU accounts for 25% of sales of Iranian oil.

Previous trade relations are very good

Iran's nuclear weapon will harm this relation

If Iran stops exporting oil to EU

=>Europe's economy suffer harsh losses.
