#1 action against one EU country, citizen or embassy staff, is considered an action against all of the EU
Which is why the mullahs are quaking in their boots.

#2 If the EU were serious, they would expel every Iranian in its territory - embassy personnel, private citizens, businessmen, the ill and infirmed - just everyone that holds an Iranian passport. They would also cut all trade with the mullahs, freeze all property and cash, and embargo third-party transactions. The mullahs know Europe isn't willing to do that, so they aren't budging. You've got to be able to hurt someone before you can force them to do your will. The EU has bought this stupid idea that all you have to do is talk. Iran will end up with a nuclear weapon and the means to deliver it because of that stupid belief. That's also why they are willing to tweak Britain's nose, as they did with the incident in the Persian Gulf.
