The Trump administration's sanctions against Iran were a good first move.
Targeting the fanatical Tehran regime's foreign currency reserves, transportation sector, minerals, and debt, these sanctions will restrict Iran's ability to threaten regional and international security.
They also send a clear message to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that American appeasement has ended. If the clerics wish to talk, they need to come to the table with a serious offer.
What course will Europe take? The European Union has introduced "blocking" sanctions to prevent European companies from complying with American sanctions. But finding that Trump won't waive sanctions targeting their interests in Iran, European businesses will restrain investment. Other businesses will avoid new investments altogether. The prospective loss of access to the vastly bigger American market weighs heavily in the boardrooms of Berlin, Paris, Rome, and London. German Chancellor Angela Merkel last week prevented Iran from acquiring $400 million in dollar reserves held in her country.

Not sure why that matters. Deliberately targetting and killing Americans, supporting terrorism, etc., are independent grounds for stealing every damn cent you can from them.
