European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—have given Iran an August deadline to make concrete progress on its nuclear program or face the reimposition of tough United Nations sanctions.
The talks, set to resume in Istanbul, come amid rising tensions and accusations from both sides over the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran has warned that restoring sanctions would complicate negotiations and could prompt it to abandon nuclear limits or retaliate in other ways. The European 'snapback' mechanism is seen as a last-ditch effort to pressure Iran back to the negotiating table.
The outcome of these talks could have significant implications for regional security and the future of nuclear diplomacy.
