Iran is set to hold urgent nuclear talks with Britain, France, and Germany (the E3) in Istanbul as European powers threaten to reimpose UN sanctions over Iran's nuclear program.
Tehran has warned that if sanctions are reinstated, it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), escalating tensions further. In response, Iran is also strengthening its alliances with Russia and China to counter Western pressure and avoid the 'snapback' of sanctions. The E3 are considering extending the deadline for sanctions, but demand significant concessions from Iran.
The outcome of these talks could determine the future of the 2015 nuclear deal and regional security.
