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.
Iran, in response, has threatened retaliation and insists it will not halt its uranium enrichment activities. Talks between Iran and the European powers are set to resume in Istanbul, marking the first negotiations since the recent ceasefire with Israel. The dispute centers on accusations from both sides: Europe blames Iran for failing to meet its commitments, while Iran claims the Europeans lack the legal and moral authority to trigger the sanctions mechanism.
The standoff raises the risk of escalating tensions in the region and further complicates efforts to revive the nuclear agreement.
