Britain, France, and Germany (the E3) have set an August deadline for Iran to make concrete progress on its nuclear program or face the reimposition of tough United Nations sanctions, known as the 'snapback' mechanism.
The renewed diplomatic push comes as Iran and the E3 prepare to meet in Istanbul, with talks focused more on preventing escalation than achieving a breakthrough. Iran has warned that restoring sanctions would complicate the situation and has threatened to abandon nuclear limits or retaliate if sanctions are reimposed. The standoff follows accusations from both sides over the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal, with European powers blaming Iran for non-compliance and Tehran accusing Europe of breaking commitments.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether Iran faces renewed international isolation or a path back to diplomacy.
