Britain, France, and Germany (the E3) have warned Iran that unless it makes concrete progress on its nuclear program by the end of August, they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
In response, Iran is urgently seeking support from Russia and China to counter the threat and is preparing for high-stakes talks with the E3 in Istanbul. Iranian officials have threatened to abandon nuclear restrictions and regional security commitments if sanctions are restored, raising the risk of further escalation. The diplomatic window is rapidly closing, with both sides trading blame for the collapse of the original agreement.
The outcome of these talks could determine whether Iran faces renewed international isolation or a path back to diplomacy.
