Pence praised other nations for complying with U.S. sanctions by reducing Iranian oil imports, but said the Europeans fell short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey call it a \u2018special purpose vehicle.\u2019 We call it an effort to break sanctions against Iran\u2019s murderous regime,\u201d Pence said. \u201cIt\u2019s an ill-advised step that will only strengthen Iran, weaken EU, and create still more distance between Europe and the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mechanism is a barter-type payment system designed to allow businesses to skirt direct financial transactions with Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there was no immediate reaction from the allies Pence criticized, they have defended their moves to skirt sanctions. Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said last month the countries are \u201cmoving in the same direction on a whole series of issues such as ballistic missiles or Iran\u2019s regional influence, but that we do have a difference of opinion on the nuclear agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calling the original Obama-era deal a \u201cdevil\u2019s bargain,\u201d Pence argued Thursday it was flawed because it fails to prevent Iran from evenutally developing a nuclear weapon. He said that Iran, since the deal was brokered, has become more aggressive in the region, not less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, Trump<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/the-americas\/2019\/01\/30\/trump-targets-intel-chiefs-over-threat-assessment-of-nkorea-iran-isis\/\" target=\"_blank\"> lashed out<\/a> at his own intelligence chiefs after they concluded that Tehran\u2019s work to stay in compliance with the deal has made it less of a nuclear threat. At the same time, the U.S. military assessed America\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/2018\/08\/06\/trump-brings-back-iran-sanctions-after-exiting-nuclear-deal\/\">withdrawal<\/a> from the Iran nuclear deal has not slowed down Iran\u2019s other malign behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration announced in August it would reactivate economic sanctions on Iran that were paused under the nuclear deal. On Thursday, Pence promised still tougher sanctions to dissuade Iran\u2019s \u201cdangerous and destabilizing behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>The Associated Press
