Iran is set to resume nuclear negotiations with the UK, France, and Germany in Istanbul amid escalating tensions over its nuclear program.
The European powers have issued an ultimatum, warning that if no progress is made by the end of August, they will trigger the UN 'snapback' mechanism to reimpose tough sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran, in turn, has threatened to abandon nuclear limits and warned of regional insecurity if sanctions return. Both sides blame each other for the collapse of the original agreement, and Iran has ruled out talks with the US for now.
The upcoming talks are seen as a last-ditch effort to avoid further escalation and diplomatic breakdown.
