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

Iran is set to resume nuclear negotiations with France, Germany, and the UK in Istanbul amid mounting tensions over its nuclear program.

The European powers have threatened to reimpose UN sanctions if Iran does not return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, prompting Iran to warn it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iran is also seeking support from Russia and China to counter Western pressure and potential sanctions. The talks come as a critical deadline approaches, with both sides signaling little optimism for a breakthrough.

The outcome could determine whether diplomacy prevails or a new phase of confrontation begins over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
