European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—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. Talks are set to resume in Istanbul, with the focus on de-escalation and avoiding further deterioration of the situation. Iran has responded with threats of retaliation and warned that renewed sanctions would complicate the nuclear standoff and regional security. The so-called 'snapback' mechanism allows for the automatic reinstatement of previous UN sanctions if Iran is found to be in violation of the agreement. The diplomatic window is closing, and both sides are under pressure to reach a compromise before the looming deadline.
