"US sanctions against Iran are not approved by UN or the EU."
It doesn't matter.
She sold US made goods to Iran, and so she broke US law.
As though she assaulted a US official or something, it's not so much EU laws that matter.
Also - if your example of 'US selling stuff to Iran' is the 'Iran contra affair' then maybe you made my point, because this was a massive scandal, and it's 30 years ago. If that's the extent of it, then it's not bad.
Also - the sales to Iran were part of a government sanctioned geostrategic initiative, much like the sanctions in the first place. I don't consider that problematic: if the US is the one making sanctions, and the US wants to adapt those sanctions for geostrategic reasons that makes sense.

If that's the extent of it, then it's not bad. That's just an example, the US has played both sides anywhere they could, and armed "bad guys" since forever... As for the scandal, yeah, some scandal, Bush then became president (and then had his son become President), and Oliver North had his charges dismissed.
