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.

The diplomatic standoff comes amid heightened regional tensions and a shrinking window for negotiation.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether Iran faces renewed international sanctions and further isolation.
