The remarks were made in a tweet by Miguel Berger, the Director-General for Economic Affairs and Sustainable Development at Germany’s Federal Foreign Office, who also serves as German envoy in the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX), the special payment channel created by Europe to facilitate trade with Tehran in the face of the US sanctions.
He referred to the growing US exports to Iran in 2018 and said this comes as European firms are banned from trading with the country.
“The US trade with Iran has more than doubled in 2018, the highest level in ten years. At the same time European companies are discouraged from doing business with the country,” he was quoted as saying in a report by Fars news agency.
US President Donald Trump who had described the Iran nuclear deal as a catastrophe during his presidential campaign unilaterally withdrew from the accord in May 2018. Since then, his administration has launched an extensive campaign to ban foreign firms from establishing any trade ties with the Islamic Republic.
Reports by European media say the US treasury officials have directly contacted CEOs of European firms to warn them against direct trade ties with Iran.

Based on a table released by the German official, the trade volume between the US and Iran in 2018 stood at over $503m including more than 435m exports of American products to Iran. On the other hand, Iran exported nearly $70m worth of products during last year. In overall, according to the table, the trade balance between the US and Iran was $367.5m in 2018.
This comes as during the same period in previous year (2017), the trade volume between the two sides stood at $200m. The US exports to and imports from Iran stood at $136m and $63.1m respectively. Meanwhile the trade balance between the two sides was nearly $73m, the table suggests.
A comparison between the figures of the last two years reveals that the US trade balance with Iran increased by five times in 2018 compared with the previous year.
The growing trade volume comes as due to the sanctions re-imposed by the US on Iran following Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA, any trading with Iran requires permission by the US Treasury Department.
