Iran is set to resume nuclear talks with Britain, France, and Germany in Istanbul this week, amid escalating tensions over its nuclear program.
The European powers have issued an ultimatum: unless Iran agrees to a comprehensive nuclear deal by the end of August, they will trigger the UN 'snapback' mechanism, reimposing tough international sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 agreement. Iran has warned it will retaliate if sanctions are restored, blaming Europe for the collapse of the original deal and threatening to abandon nuclear limits. The diplomatic standoff comes as Iran also seeks support from Russia and China, and as regional security concerns mount.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether diplomacy prevails or a new phase of confrontation begins.
