Britain, France, and Germany (the E3) 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.
Talks are set to resume in Istanbul, but both sides are signaling that the focus is on avoiding further escalation rather than achieving a breakthrough. Iran has threatened to retaliate and potentially abandon nuclear restrictions if sanctions are restored, raising fears of increased regional instability. European diplomats argue that Iran has failed to uphold its commitments, while Iran blames the Europeans for the collapse of the deal.
The looming deadline and threat of 'snapback' sanctions mark a critical juncture in the long-running standoff over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
