Iran is set to resume nuclear talks with the UK, France, and Germany in Istanbul amid escalating tensions over its nuclear program.
The European powers have warned that if Iran does not make concrete progress toward a new agreement by the end of August, they will trigger the UN 'snapback' mechanism, reimposing tough sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran has responded with threats of retaliation and insists it will not halt its uranium enrichment activities. The diplomatic standoff comes as Iran blames Europe for the collapse of the previous deal and seeks to leverage its alliances with Russia and China.
The outcome of these talks could have significant implications for regional security and the future of Iran's nuclear ambitions.
