European powers—France, the UK, and Germany—have warned Iran that unless it makes concrete progress on its nuclear program by the end of August, they will reimpose tough UN sanctions that were previously lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iran has responded with threats of retaliation and has sought support from Russia and China to counter the European move. High-level talks between Iran and the European trio are scheduled in Istanbul, with the aim of de-escalating tensions and avoiding a diplomatic collapse. The situation is tense, as Iran blames the Europeans for the deal's failure and hints at abandoning nuclear restrictions if sanctions return.
The outcome of these negotiations could determine whether Iran faces renewed international isolation and economic pressure.
