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.
High-stakes talks are set for Istanbul, with both sides seeking to avoid further escalation but little hope for a breakthrough. Iran has threatened to retaliate and possibly abandon nuclear restrictions if sanctions return, blaming Europe for the collapse of the original agreement. The looming 'snapback' deadline has heightened diplomatic tensions, with Iran signaling some willingness to negotiate but also warning of regional insecurity if pressured.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether Iran faces renewed international isolation or a path back to diplomacy.
