Iran Faces Sanctions Showdown: Nuclear Talks with Europe Amid Threats to Exit Treaty

Iran is set to hold urgent nuclear talks with Britain, France, and Germany in Istanbul as European powers threaten to reimpose UN sanctions over Tehran's nuclear program.

Iran has warned it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if sanctions are reinstated, escalating tensions. In response, Iran is also seeking support from Russia and China to counter Western pressure. The European countries are pushing for progress before an August deadline, while Iran blames Europe for the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal.

The outcome of these talks could determine whether diplomacy prevails or a new phase of confrontation begins.
