European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—have issued an ultimatum to Iran: make concrete progress on reviving the nuclear deal by the end of August or face the reimposition of tough United Nations sanctions that were previously lifted.
In response, Iran is ramping up diplomatic efforts, consulting with Russia and China to counter the threat and warning it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if sanctions return. Talks are set to resume in Istanbul, marking the first high-level negotiations since recent escalations. Both sides blame each other for the collapse of the 2015 nuclear agreement, with Iran accusing Europe of failing to uphold its commitments.
The standoff raises the risk of renewed regional tensions and a potential nuclear crisis if no agreement is reached.
