Donald Trump threatens to attack Iran "hard" tonight, hours after saying he thinks the US-Iran ceasefire is "over". Trump earlier said of the Iranian leadership: "I don't want to deal with them anymore, they're scum. They're sick people, they're led by sick people".

A deal for what? Neither will use force to stop USA/Is real from doing anything.

It's either unpopular, expensive or not worth the risk. EU will not stand up for Iran, Russia can't and China...I don't know.

If the EU, Russia, and China proposed deal is accepted by Iran, this would pressure Trump to agree especially if other countries such as Pakistan, India, and Saudia Arabia accept. If the Trump rejects the deal, the EU, Russia, and China would go it alone. Yes, there is risk of confrontation with the US, but if the war continues there are also risks.

this would pressure Trump to agree...

HA!

HA! I SAY! HA!

Trump!? Pressured to do anything? Where the fuck have you been? This is the same trump that is crashing the world order and economy and doubling down on every stupid thing they do. Remember when they put punishing tariffs on an uninhabited island? Remember when they raised them later?

Then there would be risk of a military confrontation between Europe, China, and Russia and the US and Israel. That's the purpose of Europe teaming up with China and Russia to negotiate; to present a powerful military force.

Its funny you think trump cares at all. He has continuously risked confrontation with every major nation at the drop of a hat all this time. Why would this be any different from any other day that ends with a "y" for the us administration?

He hasn't risked confrontation with Russia in Ukraine. If Europe, China, and Russia can negotiate a peace deal with Iran, the price of oil will go down. This would help the US economy, something which does concern Trump.
