You could say the Europeans are holding on to the JCPOA but you could argue that they are simply not taking any action. Since the US withdrew from the JCPOA the sanctions are back, even worse than before, and Iran waited one full year abiding by the rules for either the US to come back to the negotiation table or the Europeans to finally start implementing the mechanism you mentioned. But what have the Europeans done so far? Are they willing to circumvent US sanction? I have my doubts and most people in Iran too. According to the Iran poll by the University of Maryland 59% of Iranians that were asked in Oct. 2019 wanted Iran to leave the JCPOA. You might know some Iranians but the people living in Iran are actually affected by the sanctions and not quiet satisfied with Europe's inaction.
This doesnt mean u push europeans to the american side. And as far as i know its iran who doesnt want to negotiate before sanctions are lifted. Trump was interested and is interested in negotiations but iran wants sanctions lifted first, if sanctions are lifted then whats there to negotiate about. Seems the regime doesnt care much what the ppl face due to sanctions. France arranged a deal at UN sidelines but iran refused.
