European powers—Britain, France, and Germany—have warned Iran that they will reimpose tough United Nations sanctions by the end of August unless there is concrete progress on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal. Talks are set to resume in Istanbul, but the focus is on preventing further escalation rather than achieving a breakthrough. Iran has responded with threats of retaliation and warned that renewed sanctions would complicate the situation and potentially destabilize the region. The 'snapback' mechanism, which would restore sanctions lifted under the original deal, is at the center of the standoff. The diplomatic window is closing fast, with both sides blaming each other for the collapse of previous agreements.
