While the JCPOA has required Iran to do major program-retrenching steps such as gutting nuclear reactors and enrichment cascades, it required nothing from the United States other than the lifting of sanctions whose very purpose was to induce Iran to take the kind of bomb-precluding measures that the JCPOA incorporates. Lifting those sanctions was a net plus, not a minus, for the United States in terms of not only nuclear nonproliferation but also trade, investment, and other economic considerations. Herein lies a legitimate reason, by the way (in addition to the anticipated handling of the issue by Republicans in the Senate) for not making the JCPOA a treaty. The agreement imposed no costs or constraints on Americans, as treaties can do in becoming part of the law of the land. Even without sanctions, no company was required to do any business with Iran if it didn’t want to.

Russia down-blended the HEU, but the reactor than can burn the Pu finished few years ago ( BN-800) , however due to the inactivity of USA there is no any intention at the moment to use it.
You misunderstood the words Grey Market in the context of Iranian oil sanction.
It is called grey market by Westerners because this market is opaques to the US and to the international agencies controlled by the US. Everything else, it is just like the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM). So, the best name to call it should be irregular market, or more specifically, Iranian oil market due to the fact that this market is organized by participants who work to bypass US oil sanctions against Iran.
The US is the largest economy in monetary name only. Its real economy output is about one third smaller than that of China when measured by PPP. This is why Trump's trade war against China is doomed to fail, and this is why his stupidity may cost the life of the dollar.

Yes. If the US wanted to stifle China's development through trade they are at least a decade too late. The sanctions actually play into China's hand to a degree because if speeds up their divergence from the US economy which will limit their economic damage in case of a conflict in Taiwan.
Iran has had several programs with Russia, India, and China to build up their transportation network to make it a hub in connecting Asia to Europe. It is critical to the project so I doubt these three countries will allow Iran to collapse without making some sort of move.
The danger is if the US attempts to buy off India in some way by claiming they will divide the spoils with them and they fall into it. They should not and India should remember its colonial past.

it uses an optoelectronic system, not a radar, for target acquisition and tracking,
and uses its radar only for illuminating its missile's target
don't quote this if you don't believe it, if you don't understand what would be an advantage of this setup, or what ever

PPP is not the final say in economic strength, what it really means is how much purchasing power a currency has in its own domestic economy , ie: within China proper, the moment the Yuan crosses the boarder, currency exchange rates and status comes into play, which means what 10 yuan buys in China buys alot less in say South Korea. What is more the US is home to most of the world's currency reserves in gold (8333 tons), which means alot as most currencies in the world is fiat based.It is this status and trust that grants the dollar it's status.
But then I must also add in the caveat that an economy's size only means something if it is actively tapped into, the more easily understood notion of this is how many countries have a particular country as their largest trading partner.
