I'm glad. It's their turn to deal with this stuff. I'm sure the US will back them up with whatever they need.
Let's hope. I'm afraid it will go like this: 

Europe: Iran, please stop your nuclear program.
Iran: Uhm... no.
Europe: Sorry to have bothered you. Afterall, you do have rights. So
tell us, will you sell us cheap oil and we'll tell the US what swell
guys you are?
Iran: Ok, deal.
Europe: See, and the US thinks war is the only way!


Or maybe it'll go like this:

UN: Iran, please stop your nuclear program.
Iran: Uhm... no.
UN: Ok, then we'll stop importing your... uhm... woven carpets.
Iran: Fine. Then we'll stop exporting our oil. So there.
USA: OH NOES!!! TEH OIL IS TEH ARMZ AND LEGZ!!!

Far more likely, is that Israel will do what needs to be done, and that europe will wail and rend their garments and scold, while secretly thanking god that somebody kept the latest pack of medieval thugs from acquiring nuclear weapons.

All the Iranians with any sense are fleeing to Dubai and Bahrain as we speak.
