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 previously lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iran has responded with threats of retaliation, including abandoning nuclear restrictions and potentially escalating regional tensions. In an effort to avoid renewed isolation and sanctions, Iran is seeking support from Russia and China and preparing for high-stakes talks with the European trio in Istanbul. The diplomatic standoff comes amid accusations from both sides over the collapse of the original nuclear agreement.
The outcome of these negotiations could determine whether Iran faces renewed international isolation or a path back to diplomacy.
