Well, Iran supporting North Korea, funneling arms and resources to terrorists, and launching missiles at us probably didn't help. The EU disagreement is specifically with the harshness of the sanctions - they still believe Iran should be sanctioned, just not as harshly.

> funneling arms and resources to terrorists

You do realize the U.S. does that on a regular basis right? So do its Gulf Wahhabi allies in the region.

And I don't think anyone would complain if Iran wants to sanction the US
So you think that makes it okay for Iran to do it? Hypocrisy doesn't make someone else's bad actions acceptable.
This is why those discussions from a morally neutral standpoint are a waste of time. It’s entirely reasonable for one side to punish the others for having nukes while having those itself. We are not some impartial aliens surveying the planet, each of us is affected by these things.
You mean politically neutral standpoint, not morally neutral standpoint.
