Political analyst Brecht Jonkers says scaling back commitments under a 2015 multilateral nuclear deal is a logical step by Iran in the face of the European Union’s failure to make up for the United States’ withdrawal from the accord.

Iran’s 60-day deadline for the European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal to meet their end of the bargain expired on Sunday, with Tehran suspending its commitments to the limits set by the accord on its uranium enrichment level.
