Britain, France, and Germany (the E3) have warned Iran that unless it makes concrete progress on its nuclear program by the end of August, they will trigger the UN 'snapback' mechanism, reimposing tough international sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
In response, Iran is urgently seeking support from Russia and China to counter the European threat and has agreed to hold new talks with the E3 in Istanbul. Iranian officials have warned of serious consequences, including abandoning nuclear limits and regional security commitments, if sanctions are reinstated. The diplomatic standoff comes amid heightened regional tensions and a narrowing window for negotiation, with both sides blaming each other for the collapse of the original agreement.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether Iran faces renewed isolation or a path back to diplomacy.
