European powers—France, the UK, and Germany—have warned Iran that unless it makes concrete progress on its nuclear program by the end of August, they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iran has responded with threats of retaliation and is seeking support from Russia and China to counter the European move. High-level talks between Iran and the European trio are scheduled in Istanbul, aiming to avoid escalation but with little expectation of a breakthrough. The situation has heightened tensions, with Iran warning it may abandon nuclear restrictions and regional security commitments if sanctions return.
The diplomatic standoff underscores the risk of renewed isolation for Iran and a potential new phase of crisis in the region.
