Britain, France, and Germany have warned Iran that they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions by the end of August if there is no concrete progress on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal.
High-stakes talks are set to take place in Istanbul, marking the first direct negotiations since recent escalations and threats. Iran has responded by blaming European powers for the collapse of the original agreement and has threatened to retaliate if sanctions are restored. The European 'snapback' mechanism would automatically reinstate sanctions lifted under the nuclear accord, raising the risk of further regional instability.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether diplomacy prevails or a new phase of confrontation begins.
