Iran Rallies Russia and China to Counter Looming European Sanctions Over Nuclear Program

Iran is intensifying its diplomatic efforts by holding high-level talks with Russia and China to build a united front against the threat of renewed European sanctions, known as the 'snapback' mechanism, over its nuclear program.

These meetings come ahead of critical negotiations with European powers, as Iran seeks to leverage support from its Eastern allies to resist Western pressure and maintain its nuclear activities. China and Russia have both publicly defended Iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy and criticized what they call Western 'bullying.' The trilateral discussions are part of a broader strategy by Iran to pivot towards stronger alliances with non-Western powers, especially amid ongoing tensions with the US and Europe.

The outcome of these talks could significantly impact the future of Iran's nuclear negotiations and the stability of international sanctions regimes.
