Future of the European Union

I am curious.
How will the EU juggle their treaty commitments to Iran and the (possible) re-imposition of sanctions by the US?

If the US does not exhibit some flexibility, this could get very ugly very quickly.
I don't see this situation allowing anyone to look good

Indeed. Many countries in the EU are less and less happy with following the USA's lead when they have all been ignored and many countries have a lot to loose.

I really, really hope some calmer minds come up with some fudge that finds a way of allowing the Toddler in Chief to look Strong and have some more lines to shout at his rally whilst allowing Iran to have a reason to continue to follow an arrangement that the EU / China / Russia agreed to.

Absolutely not. Giving him any wins only increases the chances of having him for an additional 4 years.

Either a further destabilised Middle East or Trump with a vague "win". I'd opt for the latter. This as a Trump win is both marginal in general and marginal to what his "base" (and rarely was there a better term).
