European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—have warned Iran that they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions by the end of August if there is no concrete progress on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal.
The talks, set to resume in Istanbul, come amid rising tensions and accusations from both sides over who is responsible for the collapse of previous agreements. Iran has threatened to retaliate and further escalate its nuclear program if sanctions are restored, raising fears of increased regional instability. The European 'snapback' mechanism would automatically reinstate sanctions lifted under the original deal, potentially isolating Iran further.
The diplomatic window is closing fast, with both sides under pressure to avoid a major escalation.
