The EU could have also enforced the JCPOA as one of it's guaranteers but decided to be inward facing instead of treating the 2014 invasion of Ukraine as the wake up call that it should have been.
We have been saying for almost 20 years that we in the US are shifting East, but Western and Northern European states like Germany did nothing to prepare for such a world.
At least the French establish military bases, conduct coups, and attempt to project hard power abroad in order to protect their interests.

Is this about JCPOA or the 2014 occupation of Crimea?
JCPOA was being enforced by its EU members, but when the US pulled out, it fell apart. EU based companies couldn't continue to take part of the lessened restrictions because of the fear of direct US sanctions on them, which made Iran mostly uninterested in continuing its participation. It was entirely the fault of the US.
About 40% of the uranium used in Germany came from Rosatom, either directly from Russia or from Kasachstan.
That would have helped us to reduce co2, but not to get independent from Russia.
Also: Natural gas is used heavily in chemistry and the steel industry, electricity alone does not help, although I admit not raising the point in the previous comment.
