Leave it to CBS News and all the other establishment propaganda mills to spin the obvious.
CBS and the others know the Iran nuke deal is a dead letter.
Trump refused to honor the agreement while Europe pretends the deal is still valid, mostly because it needs Iranian oil. EU apparatchiks understand all bets are off now that the US has reimposed sanctions.
They have no choice but to fall in line.

Iran ignores Trump’s warning, breaks another nuclear deal limit on uranium enrichment https://cbsn.ws/2S3sB8i

In true Pavlovian fashion—following the lead of Trump and his coven of neocons and Israel-firsters—the Europeans have threatened to trigger the JCPOA’s “dispute resolution mechanism” allowing the EU to impose sanctions. This will result in the issue of Iran enriching low-grade uranium going before the neoliberal lapdog, the United Nations Security Council.
Iran’s foreign minister summed it up:
Javad ZarifIran is neither a member of the EU nor subject to any European oil embargo.Last I checked, EU was against extraterritoriality.UK’s unlawful seizure of a tanker with Iranian oil on behalf of #B_Team is piracy, pure and simple.It sets a dangerous precedent and must end now.

Iran is incrementally enriching uranium as a wedge to force Europe to fully abide by the deal and ignore Trump’s ultimatum. Zarif said Iran’s enrichment is “reversible” if the European signatories of the deal fulfill their end.
Javad ZarifToday, Iran is taking its second round of remedial steps under Para 36 of the JCPOA. We reserve the right to continue to exercise legal remedies within JCPOA to protect our interests in the face of US #EconomicTerrorism. All such steps are reversible only through E3 compliance.

Meanwhile, clod Trump tells us there is only one purpose for the low-grade enrichment of uranium.
The HillPresident Trump: “Iran better be careful. Because you enrich for one reason and I won’t tell you what that reason is. But it’s no good. They better be careful.”

Trump, thoroughly zombified by his neocon manipulators and his Orthodox Jewish, settler-friendly Likudnik son-in-law, doesn’t realize uranium enrichment at the current level—more than 85 percent below what is needed to make an effective nuclear bomb—is at best useful for nuclear power plant fuel.
But you wouldn’t know this if you’re the average headline skimmer. The neocons and Israel want you to believe Iran will have a thermo-nuke tomorrow and will immediately target Israel and US “assets” in the Middle East.
The propaganda is working, even though a majority of Americans, according to corporate polls, support the nuclear deal. At the same time, they believe Iran is a threat to America, never mind there is zero evidence of this.
In fact, the opposite is true: the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia are a threat to Iran.
But then most Americans are not very good at history and really don’t show much interest in truth, preferring instead to skim deceptive corporate media headlines on social media between episodes of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.
