Iran is set to resume nuclear negotiations with France, Germany, and the UK in Istanbul amid mounting threats from European powers to reimpose UN sanctions if Tehran does not return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iranian officials have warned that reinstating sanctions could prompt Iran to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), escalating tensions further. As the deadline for a new agreement approaches, Iran is also seeking support from Russia and China to counter Western pressure. The talks mark the first direct engagement since recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran, but expectations for a breakthrough remain low.
The situation is complicated by mutual accusations of non-compliance and the risk of broader regional instability if diplomacy fails.
