I've Been Thinking:

OMV is an Austrian energy company.
OMV is now negotiating a fuel deal with Iran.
OMV is scheduled to develop Iran’s energy infrastructure.
The USA is livid.

How angry/upset/ticked off is the United States?
US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack put it this way:
"perhaps this is not the most appropriate time to be making or committing to making large investments in the Iranian oil and gas sector."

Honestly, how can THE West exert pressure on Iran if countries like Austria permit their companies to do business with the Iranians?!
They can't.

And why can't they?
Because the UN Security Council Resolution on nuclear issues does not prohibit this type of nuclear development and activity.

Pass appropriate resolutions.
Put real pressure on Iran.
Otherwise, it is all a big joke and Iran is laughing out loud.
