Iran is set to hold urgent nuclear talks with France, Germany, and the UK in Istanbul amid mounting threats from Europe to reimpose UN sanctions if Tehran fails to comply with the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iranian officials have warned that reinstating sanctions could prompt Iran to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), escalating the crisis. As the August deadline for a new agreement approaches, Iran is also seeking support from Russia and China to counter Western pressure. The talks are expected to focus on preventing further deterioration rather than achieving a breakthrough, with both sides wary of triggering the 'snapback' mechanism that would restore global sanctions.
The outcome could determine whether diplomacy prevails or the nuclear standoff intensifies.
