European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—have warned Iran that they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions by the end of August unless Iran makes concrete progress on its nuclear program.
The so-called 'snapback' mechanism would restore sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal, which has been under strain since the US withdrawal and Iran's subsequent breaches. Iran has agreed to resume talks with the European trio in Istanbul, but both sides appear focused on avoiding further escalation rather than achieving a breakthrough. Tehran has threatened retaliation and regional instability if sanctions are reinstated, while European officials insist that time is running out for diplomacy.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether Iran faces renewed international isolation or a path back to compliance.
