France's Total pulls out of Iran due to US sanctions
By EUobserver
French energy giant Total has quit its multi-billion euro gas project in Iran after the US has reimposed sanctions when president Donald Trump walked away from a nuclear arms control deal earlier this year. The pullout came as Iran said on Monday that Europe should speed up its efforts to salvage a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and other powers, including Britain, France, Germany, China, and Russia.
