Iran is set to resume nuclear negotiations with Britain, France, and Germany in Istanbul, as European powers warn they will reimpose tough UN sanctions if no progress is made by the end of August.
The talks come after the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal, with both sides blaming each other for the breakdown. The so-called 'snapback' mechanism could see sanctions that were lifted under the original agreement swiftly reinstated, escalating regional and international tensions. Iran has threatened to retaliate and potentially abandon nuclear limits if sanctions return, raising fears of further instability.
The outcome of these talks will be critical for the future of Iran's nuclear program and broader Middle East security.
