Iran Threatens Nuclear Treaty Exit as Europe Mulls Sanctions Snapback

Iran has warned it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if European nations reimpose sanctions, a move being considered as part of the UN 'snapback' mechanism. This threat comes ahead of renewed nuclear talks between Iran and the E3 (UK, France, Germany), set to take place in Istanbul. The talks mark the first such engagement since the recent ceasefire with Israel, with European diplomats seeking to avoid escalating tensions while pressing Iran for compliance. Iran is also strengthening alliances with Russia and China to counter Western pressure. The outcome of these negotiations could have significant implications for regional stability and the future of Iran's nuclear program.
