The Agony of the Iran Deal
In a reckless decision, the U.S. withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement – signed back in July 2015 as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – and reinstated all nuclear-related sanctions on Iran on May 8. Given the secondary nature of the sanctions, all companies trading with and investing in Iran are bound to wind down their contracts within 90 to 180 days.

Russia-West Relations: No Light in the Dead End Street
The EU is not a serious player, and in some cases never was, writes Valdai Club expert Gerhard Mangott. Institutionalized dialogue with Russia was cut back in March 2014 and the EU member states are divided on how to proceed with Russia. As things stand, the course will still be set by France and Germany, but several countries are demurring at it.

Coalition Government in Austria: Strong Opposition to Uncontrolled Immigration
For the second time in post-War Austrian history the right-of-centre Christian Democrats (OeVP) and the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) have formed a coalition government. The first effort, launched in 2000, failed miserably only a few years later due to internal conflicts within the FPOe. Now, the prospect for a solid and united coalition government is much better. We have had a generational change in both parties. All major FPOe leaders are members of the government unlike in 2000. This means we do not have any relevant veto actors outside the government this time.

How Will EU Respond to Possible Damage from US Sanctions Against Russia?
New US sanctions against Russia irritate the EU, as they in fact represent interference with the European energy policy, Valdai Club experts Reinhard Krumm and Gerhard Mangott say. But don’t expect counter-measures anytime soon: as long as European companies do not feel the real impact of US sanctions, the European Commission will not publicly announce any retaliation.
