   Americans words are so unreliable that 3rd talk might be the last, as I mentioned before.
 So Iran is now testing Europeans' degree of servitude towards USA in the light of recent tariff related development to see if in the absence of a deal with USA they could have a deal with Europeans, Russia, and China. Effectively replacing Americans with the Europeans.
 Europeans haven't responded yet.

There are no 'Europeans'.
Europe is a huge continent, which is populated by a large number of people, which live in a large number of nations.
I, for instance, live in Germany.
Germans are a crude mixture of all sort of tribes, which left their offspring in the region now called 'Germany'.
A lot of these people had actually slavic roots, which are more or less more related to Polish or Russian people, while others stem from Romans and from kelts.
That's why there is no consensus, how to deal with geopolitical problems, like e.g. the Ukraine conflict.
But Germany is only one of a lot of countries, which all have their own interests, friends, demands and enemies.
To bring this into a single consensus is like herding a flock of flees.
That's why it takes some time.
