But I thought the issue now is that Trump was putting the screws to Europe by locking European companies out of the U.S. market if they did business in Iran.

So far Europe has kept its commitments to Iran so Iran doesn’t really have a legal basis for what it’s doing, but on a pragmatic level, they see the writing on the wall and are responding to it.

Any third nation that deals with Iran in violation of those U.S. sanctions, gets sanctioned too. Iran would like to continue being in compliance with multi-nation treaty, but Trump has made that impossible.
