European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—are warning Iran that they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions if no progress is made on reviving the nuclear deal by the end of August.

Iran has responded with threats of retaliation and warned that renewed sanctions would complicate the nuclear standoff and regional security. Talks are set to resume in Istanbul, but both sides appear focused on avoiding further escalation rather than achieving a breakthrough.
The diplomatic window is closing, with Europe leveraging the threat of sanctions to pressure Iran back to compliance.
