How about China ?
Iran to Get Chinese J-10 Fighter Jets in Return for Oil Rights

The only thing I worry about is if the EU once they're getting money from trading with Iran becomes resistant to putting sanctions back in place or authorizing military action should Iran violate the agreement. There was ample evidence of Europe violating sanctions against Saddam.
Especially if the oil supply becomes an issue. Russia already has immense leverage over Europe due to their pipelines, what if Iran can also use that leverage?
But, I don't see how that concern is a reason to not try the deal out, it's better than the alternative.

Germany maybe.
Doubt france will and the UK certainly won't.
Long as the USA get to use Diago Garcia and cyprus it won't matter what the rest of Europe do or say.

It depends. I trust every nation to look out for their own interests. If the UK is making a lot of money off of Iran and doesn't want to jeopardize that, I doubt we would get to use Diego Garcia. The same thing goes for Iran though, if they're making a lot of money on foreign trade, and they get a respectable conventional military what incentive would they have to risk it all by building a nuclear weapon?

The US might even resort to creating a False Flag to make it look like Iran is breaking the deal. Israel is hounding the US to do this!
