Britain, France, and Germany (the E3) have warned Iran that they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions by the end of August if Iran does not make concrete progress on its nuclear program.
Talks between Iran and the E3 are set to resume in Turkey, marking the first such negotiations since the recent ceasefire with Israel. The E3 are leveraging the threat of 'snapback' sanctions, which were lifted after the 2015 nuclear deal, to pressure Iran back to compliance. Iran has responded with warnings of retaliation and claims that the Europeans lack the legal and moral authority to trigger these sanctions.
The situation remains tense, with both sides accusing each other of failing to uphold commitments under the nuclear agreement.
