Iran Threatens to Quit Nuclear Treaty as Europe Mulls Sanctions Snapback

Iran is warning it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if European nations reimpose sanctions, a move known as the 'snapback' mechanism.

This threat comes as Iran prepares to resume nuclear talks with the UK, France, and Germany in Istanbul, the first such negotiations since the recent ceasefire with Israel. European powers are pressuring Iran to make progress on its nuclear commitments, while Iran is seeking support from Russia and China to counter potential sanctions. The talks are seen as a last-ditch effort to avoid escalating the nuclear standoff and prevent the collapse of existing agreements.

The outcome could have major implications for regional stability and global non-proliferation efforts.
