Was he bribed by the Iranians? Iran says it bribed key Western diplos and pols to get the JCPOA deal.
At any rate, we'll see how eager the Brits and EUroweenies are to defy American sanctions when their companies get hit with fines in the billions for doing business with Iran.

Probably they will submit, they hardly can afford being sanctioned by USA, even if they lose tens of billions of business in Iran taken away from them by China and Russia. They have another worry, wimps as they are, they are afraid that Iran will restart nuclear program on their footsteps.
=============== After Associated Press:
Pompeo explained that his repeated calls for the agency to regain its swagger meant that diplomats should act with confidence, knowing that the U.S. cause is just. The event was closed to journalists as Pompeo told staff he wanted his conversations with them to be private but the State Department released excerpts of his prepared remarks.
Swagger is not arrogance; it is not boastfulness, it is not ego, Pompeo said, according to the excerpts. No, swagger is confidence; in ones self, in ones ideas. In our case, it is Americas essential rightness. And it is aggressiveness born of the righteous knowledge that our cause is just, special, and built upon Americas core principles.
Our task is to preserve our civilization of human dignity, individual liberty, democracy, national sovereignty, and the rule of law, and to challenge anyone seeking to take it down, he said. We should be proud and confident in America and her values we should carry that diplomatic swagger to the ends of the earth; humbly, nobly and with the skill and courage I know you all possess.
Europe isn't under much threat of a Persian nuke on a ballistic missile. Israel is. And we in America (aka The Great Satan) certainly are.
So the level of threat is not equal at all.
Likewise, the Donbass militias are not as threatening to Paris as they are to Kiev.
It's very easy to be blasé about danger when you know it is someone else who is actually threatened with war.
This is why the American godfather-like presence looming in the NATO background about the vital strategic importance of Greece was the reason that German bankers and taxpayers, the center of EU economic power, had to take a haircut on their Greek bond holdings and were not permitted to take possession of whole Greek islands, etc. Overall military security is more important than profits for some German capitalists. Somebody had to lose, and it was the German capitalists, even though on paper they had all the power and all the "right". More important considerations prevailed.
