European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—have warned Iran that they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions by the end of August if there is no concrete progress on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iran has agreed to hold urgent talks with these countries in Istanbul, but tensions remain high as both sides trade blame for the collapse of previous agreements. Iran has threatened to retaliate and potentially abandon nuclear restrictions if sanctions are restored, raising fears of further regional instability. The so-called 'snapback' mechanism would automatically reinstate sanctions that were lifted under the original deal, significantly increasing pressure on Tehran.
The outcome of these talks could determine the future of Iran's nuclear program and broader Middle East security.
