Britain, France, and Germany have warned Iran that they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions by the end of August if there is no concrete progress on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iran has agreed to hold urgent talks with these European powers in Istanbul, but tensions remain high as Tehran blames Europe for the collapse of the previous agreement and threatens retaliation if sanctions are restored.

Iran has also hinted at abandoning nuclear restrictions and increasing uranium enrichment if pressured.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether diplomacy prevails or the region faces renewed instability.
