Britain, France, and Germany have warned Iran that unless it makes concrete progress on its nuclear program by the end of August, they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iran has agreed to hold urgent talks with these European powers in Istanbul, but tensions remain high as Tehran blames Europe for the collapse of the original agreement and threatens retaliation if sanctions return. The so-called 'snapback' mechanism could see a rapid reinstatement of international embargoes, further complicating diplomatic efforts. Iran has also hinted at abandoning nuclear limits or even the Non-Proliferation Treaty if pressured.
The outcome of these talks will be critical for regional security and the future of Iran's nuclear ambitions.
