Europe, which once played a central role in diplomacy with Iran and the formation of the nuclear agreement, has gradually retreated from this position and has now lost many of its economic levers and diplomatic influence. This trend is a result of political and economic changes at the global level, particularly the influence of US policies on international relations.
Decline of Europe's Diplomatic Influence
In recent years, Europe has faced multiple challenges in the field of diplomacy. With the United States' withdrawal from the nuclear agreement and the reimposition of sanctions against Iran, European countries, despite efforts to maintain this agreement, have been unable to effectively withstand the pressures from Washington. This has led to a decline in Europe's diplomatic influence in negotiations with Iran and has somewhat resulted in following US policies.

Economic and Political Consequences
The decline of Europe's economic and diplomatic influence has not only harmed the interests of these countries in Iran but has also weakened their credibility on a global scale. On the other hand, these changes have led to increased tensions in the Middle East and have created opportunities for the rise of non-European players such as China and Russia. In this context, Iran is seeking to strengthen its relations with these countries, which could lead to significant changes in regional equations.
Overall, recent developments indicate that Europe can no longer act as a leading player in diplomacy with Iran and needs to adopt new approaches to restore its credibility and influence in this area. This will require greater coordination among European countries and a reassessment of their foreign policies.
