Iran is set to resume nuclear talks with the UK, France, and Germany in Istanbul amid escalating tensions over its nuclear program.
The European powers have issued an ultimatum, warning that if Iran does not make concrete progress toward a new nuclear deal by the end of August, they will trigger the UN 'snapback' mechanism to reimpose tough sanctions lifted under the 2015 agreement. Iran has responded with threats of retaliation and insists it will not halt its uranium enrichment activities. The diplomatic standoff comes as Iran also seeks support from Russia and China, while blaming Europe for the collapse of the previous deal.
The outcome of these talks could have significant implications for regional security and global non-proliferation efforts.
