European powers—Britain, France, 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 lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
In response, Iran is urgently seeking support from Russia and China to counter the threat and has threatened to abandon nuclear limits or regional security commitments if sanctions return. Talks between Iran and the European trio are set to resume in Istanbul, with the focus on de-escalation rather than a breakthrough. The situation is tense, with both sides blaming each other for the collapse of the original agreement and warning of severe consequences if the 'snapback' mechanism is triggered.
The outcome of these negotiations could determine whether Iran faces renewed international isolation or a diplomatic path forward.
