Iran Threatens Nuclear Treaty Exit as Europe Weighs Sanctions in High-Stakes Nuclear Showdown

Iran is warning it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if European powers reimpose UN sanctions over its nuclear program.

Britain, France, and Germany are preparing to meet with Iran in Istanbul for urgent talks, as the threat of a 'snapback' of sanctions looms amid accusations of non-compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran is also seeking support from Russia and China to counter Western pressure and avoid renewed sanctions. The outcome of these negotiations could determine the future of Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional security.

The situation is tense, with both sides signaling that failure to reach a compromise could escalate the crisis.
