you do realize iran is trying to get the maximum influence by destabilizing its neighbours ( such a lebanon and yemen), in a region crippled by war for centuries, while at the same time oppressing its own people (and women in particular) ? i really don’t think europe should go to economical war against the US to save this regime’s *ss and sell them a few cars. Note that my reasoning would be absolutely identical if US decided to do the same with saudi arabia...

> while at the same time oppressing its own people That's the thing, though. Iran clearly isn't some redeemable den of evil, the populace used to be both well-educated and friendly towards the west. It might take a (democratic) regime change to restore relations to anywhere near "good", but at this rate you could say the same about the US.
