European powers—France, Germany, and the UK—are set to meet with Iran in Istanbul for the first time since recent regional escalations, aiming to revive stalled negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.
The talks come as Europe threatens to reimpose UN sanctions ('snapback') unless Iran returns to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, with an August deadline looming. Iran, meanwhile, is seeking support from Russia and China to counter Western pressure and has warned it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if sanctions are reinstated. Expectations for a breakthrough are low, with both sides focused on avoiding further escalation rather than achieving a comprehensive agreement.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether Iran faces renewed international isolation or a path back to diplomacy.
