If they violate it, then it is up to those signatories to take action. Trump can feel free to have an "I told you so" moment about that, though the news doesn't sound all that nefarious, to me.

I'm not the biggest expert on that agreement, but it seems European countries on their own can't quite hold up their side of the bargain. The US threatens all companies dealing with Iran with sanctions, which obviously led to most of them pulling out - so there are de facto sanctions from European companies in place.

Under this circumstances and when the biggest power - and biggest aggressor - is no part of the agreement any longer, it's quite pointless for Iran to stick to it, for effectively no benefit to their own people. I sure have no sympathy for this regime, but in this case I'd rather blame the US than them for not the deal not holding any longer.
