The US has all the leverage. They can just say "you can trade with Iran or you could trade with us," and what is the EU going to do? I'm not happy about the Iran deal being torn up either, but there is nothing European leaders can do about it.

Call a rather obvious bluff and put political pressure on American leaders over it.

They have a pretty easy to defend position.

It's not really a bluff; they can cut off any European business that deals with Iran easily. Someone else will play ball. This wouldn't be the first time they did it either.
